Data file
Record tas-2027 in our public holiday dataset. Every date below is read from that record at build time.

What we checked, and what we changed: Verified 19 Sep 2026 via Wayback Machine archive of the live worksafe.tas.gov.au page (direct access returned HTTP 403/bot challenge), which publishes 2026, 2027 and 2028 in one table. Tasmania records only the single legally-observed date for Christmas Day/Boxing Day once weekend substitution applies; both fall as single 2027 entries (27 and 28 December respectively) rather than actual-plus-additional pairs.

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.
