2028 Holidays Australia

All 2028 public holidays of Australia are listed in the table below, with the states and territories where each one applies. Seven of them are shared by every state and territory: New Year’s Day, Australia Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Anzac Day, Christmas Day and Boxing Day (in South Australia the 26 December holiday is Proclamation Day); the others differ by state, such as Labour Day, the King’s Birthday and Easter Saturday. When a public holiday falls on a weekend, most states add an extra weekday holiday, shown as “(additional day)”; in Tasmania, and for Anzac Day in Queensland and the Northern Territory, the holiday moves to the weekday instead, shown as “(substitute day)”. The table also lists common observances like Mother’s Day and Remembrance Day, which are not public holidays. For a printable calendar with the public holidays of your state or territory, go to the 2028 calendar page.

Western Australia: Labour Day, Western Australia Day and the King's Birthday 2028 are not yet confirmed: the Public and Bank Holidays Amendment Bill 2025 is before the Legislative Council. They will be added when Western Australia publishes the 2028 dates.

Tasmania: Easter Sunday 2028 is not a public holiday under current law; a bill that would make it one has passed the Tasmanian Parliament and is awaiting Royal Assent.

Victoria: Friday before the AFL Grand Final: date not yet announced (subject to the AFL schedule).
