Planning notes for 2027

Saturday and Sunday form the weekend in Australia, and state-level holidays sit on top of the national list. Where a holiday sits next to a weekend, expect offices and banks to run short staff on the days in between.

Other years: 2025 2026. Country overview: Australia holidays hub. Count business days with the working days calculator.

Source: compiled from the Nager.Date public holiday dataset, which traces each entry back to official government publications. Data pulled 2026-10-26. Regional holidays below national level may not appear in this national list.
