About Australia Holidays
National Public Holidays
Australia observes 8 national public holidays: New Year's Day, Australia Day (January 26), Good Friday, Easter Saturday, Easter Monday, Anzac Day (April 25), Queen's Birthday, and Christmas Day. Boxing Day is also widely observed. Each state and territory may have additional public holidays.
Week Starts on Monday
In Australia, the week starts on Monday following the ISO 8601 standard. This calendar reflects that convention. When a public holiday falls on a weekend, the next Monday is usually declared a public holiday in lieu.
