Australian Public Holidays by State and Year
Choose a state or territory
Public holidays in Australia are gazetted by each state and territory, not nationally, so the same day can be a holiday in one place and an ordinary working day a few kilometres away. Pick a jurisdiction to see the dates we hold, where they came from, and what is still disputed.

Calculators that use this data
These tools read the same public holiday data. If a date on this page is wrong, their answers are wrong too — which is exactly why the verification note sits at the top of this page rather than the bottom.

- Cooling-Off Period Calculator — counts a cooling-off deadline in business days
- Holiday Calendar — shows the next public holiday for a chosen state
