Ask two Australians to list their public holidays and you will get two different answers. That is not a trivia quirk; it is how the country works. Seven dates are national — New Year’s Day, Australia Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Anzac Day, Christmas, Boxing Day — and everything else is a state decision.
This matters more than it sounds. Victoria and Tasmania celebrate Labour Day on the second Monday of March; Western Australia takes the first Monday. Queensland has its Labour Day in May. If you coordinate across states, you are juggling multiple calendars.
The post has the full 2026 table per state and territory, what happens when a holiday lands on a weekend (2026 has two awkward ones: Anzac Day and Boxing Day both fall on Saturdays), and how to plan long weekends around australian holidays by state.
