About Australian Public Holidays

Australia has 7 national public holidays observed in all states and territories: New Year's Day, Australia Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, ANZAC Day, Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Each state and territory also has its own additional public holidays, such as Labour Day (different dates in each state), the AFL Grand Final Eve (VIC), Melbourne Cup Day (VIC), Canberra Day (ACT), Western Australia Day (WA), Picnic Day (NT), and more.

When a public holiday falls on a weekend, most states observe a substitute public holiday on the following Monday. Rules vary by state — check the Fair Work Ombudsman for entitlements.
