State and territory holidays

Australian public holidays vary by state and territory, so the calculator includes regional options rather than relying on one national calendar.

Supported regions

Select from New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, Australian Capital Territory, and Northern Territory.

Useful planning cases

Use it for Australian work schedules, delivery estimates, payment terms, HR planning, administrative deadlines, project timelines, and time-off planning.

Did you know?

Australia Day is a national public holiday, but several other public holidays differ by state or territory. That is why a regional selector matters.

Review local rules

Public holiday treatment can vary by state, award, employer, industry, and contract, so important calculations should be checked before use.
