Dates follow each holiday's official rule. Governments occasionally move or add holidays, so check official sources before making plans.
Each Australian state and territory sets its own public holidays, so dates and names can vary. The days marked as public holidays below are held in every state, though some, like the King's Birthday, fall on different dates in Western Australia and Queensland. When a public holiday falls on a weekend, most states give an extra or substitute day.
