Australian Public Holidays

Looking ahead for those long week-ends and the chance for a great getaway? Maybe you want to extend your annual vacation by overlapping public holidays. Maybe you just need to know on which day of the week the holiday falls.

For visitors to Australia, knowing the public holiday dates provides an indication of when things like Gold Coast holiday apartments might be difficult to find, when seats on flights are limited, when the city centre is going to be full of school kids enjoying a day off.

The dates shown on the following state pages have been extracted from the official state government sources and are given in good faith. However, no responsibility is taken for any inaccuracies that may occur or changes that occur after the original publication of the date.

Public holidays in Australia vary from state to state. While the total number of days is generally the same between states, the events being celebrated will often be different and fall on different dates.
