Your state changes the best dates to book
Public holidays and substitute-day rules differ across Australia. The planner includes all eight states and territories. In 2027, for example, the Monday after Anzac Day is included for Western Australia but not Victoria or South Australia. Select the calendar for where you work.
Check local holidays before booking
Brisbane’s Royal Queensland Show holiday, Tasmania’s local holidays and Melbourne Cup Day are optional in the holiday settings. Part-day Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve holidays do not count as full days off. Victoria’s Friday before the AFL Grand Final is excluded while its 2027 date is unconfirmed. Add it once the date is official and your employer confirms it applies.
Keep planning: print a calendar, count down to a holiday.
