About Australian Holidays

What We Do

Australian Holidays is a free resource providing school holiday and public holiday dates for every Australian state and territory. We make it easy to find and plan around school holiday periods and public holidays for NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, TAS, NT, and the ACT.

Our site is designed to be fast, clean, and mobile-friendly — so you can quickly find the holiday dates you need on any device.

Data Sources

We source all holiday dates from official Australian government sources:

• NSW NSW Department of Education — education.nsw.gov.au
• VIC Victorian Government — vic.gov.au
• QLD Queensland Department of Education — education.qld.gov.au
• SA SA Department for Education — education.sa.gov.au
• WA WA Department of Education — education.wa.edu.au
• TAS TAS Dept for Education, Children and Young People — decyp.tas.gov.au
• NT NT Government — nt.gov.au
• ACT ACT Education Directorate — education.act.gov.au

Disclaimer

While we strive to keep all dates accurate and up-to-date, school holiday dates are occasionally revised by state education departments. We strongly recommend verifying dates directly with your state education department, especially closer to a holiday period.

Dates shown apply to government (public) schools. Private, Catholic and independent schools set their own holiday dates, which may differ from government school dates. Always check with your school directly.
