Australia public holidays 2026 & 2027

Public holidays vary by state, territory and sometimes local area. Choose a break that applies where you work. Part-day holidays and restricted regional or public-service holidays appear in the calendar but are not counted as full days off in the trip options. The 2027 Victorian AFL Grand Final holiday date is not yet listed; no date is assumed.

Christmas and Boxing Day, New Year, Australia Day, Easter and Anzac Day are covered. State holidays include Labour Day and King’s Birthday on the dates applicable to each state.

No. The badge shows any extra weekdays needed as annual leave. The planner assumes Saturday–Sunday rest days. Confirm your workplace schedule before booking.

The first day is departure and check-in. The last day is return and check-out. Three travel days mean two hotel nights.

The planner uses the current date in Australia. It hides trips whose first day has passed and selects the closest upcoming option.

Yes. Flights use both cities; hotels use the destination. A same-city flight route is disabled while hotel search stays available.

No. Start with the holiday calendar where you work. Destination holidays can affect transport and opening hours, but do not establish your own leave entitlement.

Once all listed trips have passed, the search buttons are disabled until a new reviewed calendar is added. Dates are not invented.
