What the result means

Public holidays are gazetted rest days. Dates move when they fall on a weekend, and several holidays are state-specific.

How it is calculated

National set + state extras + observed-Monday rules + Easter from the Anonymous Gregorian algorithm
  • Jurisdiction: Which extra holidays apply.

The same holiday table drives the business-days calculator.

Assumptions

  • Estimates only — not tax, legal, credit or financial advice. Check the official source or your contract before relying on a figure.
  • Not an official gazette extract.
  • Local holidays may be missing.

Worked example

Christmas on a Friday

When Christmas is Friday, Boxing Day is Saturday and usually has a Monday substitute.

Check
The list includes additional days when weekends collide with 25–26 December.

Open the year you care about rather than memorising a single calendar.

Confirm before you roster

Local show days and some council holidays are omitted. Easter is calculated; others use weekday rules encoded from typical national practice. Always check Fair Work and the relevant state gazette for employment.

Questions

Is Easter Monday always included?

Yes in this table, nationally. Easter Sunday is only listed for some jurisdictions.
