Australia Calendar 2027 with Public Holidays

National and state holidays

Public holidays in Australia are made by the states and territories, not the Commonwealth, so the “national” list is simply the days they all share. This calendar opens on those seven for 2027, on A4 paper with weeks that start on Monday, and marks the additional weekdays the states give when New Year’s Day, Christmas Day or Boxing Day land on a weekend. Pick your state or territory under State or territory to see its full list, including its Labour Day, King’s Birthday and Easter weekend, with part-day and regional holidays in grey. The page moves on to the next year in September.

How the states differ

The King’s Birthday is the second Monday in June in New South Wales and Victoria, the first Monday in October in Queensland, and a day proclaimed each year in Western Australia, usually in late September. Labour Day ranges from the first Monday in March (Western Australia) to the first Monday in October (New South Wales). Victoria has Melbourne Cup Day and the Friday before the AFL Grand Final; Queensland has a show day in Brisbane and Christmas Eve from 6pm. South Australia has Adelaide Cup Day, the ACT Canberra Day and Reconciliation Day, the Northern Territory May Day and Picnic Day, and Tasmania splits the state between the Hobart Regatta and Recreation Day.

Other calendars

Each state and territory has its own page: New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory. For New Zealand’s holidays, open the New Zealand calendar, and the calendar maker prints any range.
