Frequently asked questions

Which public holidays apply in all of Australia?

New Year's Day, Australia Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Anzac Day, Christmas Day and Boxing Day are public holidays in every state and territory. Most also observe Easter Saturday and Easter Sunday, and all mark the King's Birthday, on different dates in Queensland and Western Australia.

Why does Labour Day differ between states?

Each state and territory sets its own Labour Day: the first Monday in March in Western Australia (second Monday from 2028, third Monday in state election years such as 2029), the second Monday in March in Victoria and Tasmania (Eight Hours Day), the first Monday in May in Queensland and the Northern Territory (May Day), and the first Monday in October in NSW, the ACT and South Australia.

What happens when a public holiday falls on a weekend?

Rules differ by state. Australia Day on a weekend moves to the Monday everywhere. For New Year's Day, Christmas Day and Boxing Day most states keep the day and add a Monday or Tuesday; Tasmania moves the holiday instead. Anzac Day gets an extra Monday only in some states.
