Western Australia Calendar 2027 with Public Holidays

Western Australian public holidays

The Public and Bank Holidays Act 1972 gives WA New Year’s Day, Australia Day, Labour Day on the first Monday in March, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, Anzac Day, Western Australia Day on the first Monday in June, the King’s Birthday, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. There’s no Easter Saturday holiday, unlike the eastern states. The 2027 sheets are A4 with the week starting on Monday, and the table gives every date. Each September it moves on a year.

A King’s Birthday of its own

WA keeps the King’s Birthday apart from the other states’ June date: the Governor proclaims it each year, and it usually lands on a Monday in late September or early October, near the Perth Royal Show and the school holidays. It was 28 September in 2026 and is 27 September in 2027. In the City of Karratha and the Town of Port Hedland a regional date replaces it, so people there should check the local proclamation.

Anzac Monday and Christmas

WA is generous with weekends. A weekend Anzac Day brings the next Monday off too, as in both 2026 and 2027. A weekend Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Year’s Day brings an extra weekday too, so 2027 has Monday 27 and Tuesday 28 December off.

What may change from 2028

The Public and Bank Holidays Amendment Bill 2025 would move Labour Day to the second Monday in March and WA Day to the second Monday in November, fix the King’s Birthday on the second Monday in June, add Easter Saturday and create a Show Day. It passed the Legislative Assembly in October 2025 and is before the Legislative Council. Until it passes, the calendar marks Labour Day and WA Day under the current Act from 2028, and a note under Holidays warns that they may move.

Other states

The other states are linked from the Australia calendar; the calendar maker does any other range.
