Frequently asked questions
Australia’s 2029 public holidays vary by state, but every state and territory observes dates such as New Year’s Day, Australia Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday and Christmas Day. Use the national table for the shared dates, then open a state guide above for the exact calendar that applies where you live or work.
No. The shared national dates are only part of the picture. States and territories also have their own declared public holidays, such as Adelaide Cup Day in South Australia, Melbourne Cup Day in Victoria and Royal Queensland Show in Brisbane. NSW also lists a Bank Holiday date, but it is not a declared public holiday and has limited banking and financial-institution scope.
