Is the NSW Bank Holiday a public holiday?
No. On the Bank Holiday (Monday 3 August 2026) retail bank branches close, but the NSW Government says it is not a declared public holiday: other workplaces work as usual.
When is the AFL Grand Final public holiday 2026?
In Victoria, Friday 25 September 2026 (the Friday before the AFL Grand Final).
When does daylight saving end and start in 2026?
In New South Wales, Victoria, the ACT, South Australia and Tasmania daylight saving ends at 3am on Sunday 5 April (clocks go back one hour) and starts at 2am on Sunday 4 October 2026 (clocks go forward one hour). Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory do not change their clocks.

When are the school holidays in 2026?
Each state and territory education department sets its own school terms, so they are not on this calendar. Check your state’s or territory’s education department.
Can I print the 2026 calendar?
Yes. Free A4 PDFs for All of Australia and each state and territory: a year calendar (landscape and portrait) and a monthly calendar, with every holiday written in full. All of Australia also comes with a Sunday start.
Sources and method
All sources checked 8 October 2026
Holiday dates come from the public holiday pages of the eight state and territory governments and their laws (linked below), checked on 8 October 2026; the Fair Work Ombudsman’s lists are a second check. The layout, the PDFs, the working days and the long-weekend ideas are made by ToolNeko: this is not a government publication.
Dates are computed from each state’s and territory’s rules and checked against every date their government pages print. Working days: Monday to Friday minus the full-day public holidays of the view on weekdays; part-day holidays, regional days, public service days and the NSW Bank Holiday are not subtracted, and a public holiday on a weekend is not subtracted (its additional public holiday on a weekday is). “All of Australia” counts the days that are public holidays in every state and territory. The Tasmanian table prints Christmas Day 2027 as 27 December only; the Statutory Holidays Act 2000 makes Saturday 25 December a public holiday too, so both are shown.
Daylight saving 2026: in New South Wales, Victoria, the ACT, South Australia and Tasmania it ends at 3am on Sunday 5 April and starts at 2am on Sunday 4 October; Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory do not change their clocks.
Not on this calendar: Queensland’s local show holidays and the Melbourne Cup substitute days of councils outside Melbourne (links in the holiday list).
Status words: “reference” marks other days with no Australian government source, taken from two independent references.
