About this calendar

This calendar uses the responsible jurisdiction’s published schedule. It includes applicable national occasions and jurisdiction-specific holidays without importing another state’s substitute rules.

Coverage and exceptions

ANZAC Day has no weekend substitute. AFL Grand Final Friday is confirmed for 2026; later dates await the AFL schedule. Non-metropolitan councils can replace Melbourne Cup Day.

Workplace arrangements

Check the applicable award, agreement and employer arrangements. A public holiday does not establish that every workplace is closed.

School arrangements

Government-school calendars differ by jurisdiction and division. Private schools, local development days and some remote schools can differ.

Planning

Use the state calendar and its official source before booking. Local show holidays and substitute dates can affect transport and opening hours.

Frequently asked questions

Are these dates the same everywhere?

Use the calendar for the relevant state, territory or school division. Local and sector-only exceptions have their own coverage.

Are future dates confirmed?

Each dated entry carries its recorded status and official source. Unpublished dates are explicitly pending and are not guessed.
