Western Australia calendar 2026

What matters in Western Australia

Australia’s eight states and territories have different holiday lists. King’s Birthday and Labour Day do not share one date everywhere, and Anzac Day substitute rules vary. Evening-only holidays are not deducted as a whole working day. Local show days and institutional exceptions have narrower scopes.

Plan work and leave with the calendar

Check the holiday scope and employment effect first. Then select your workplace in the calculator and use your actual working pattern. An observance, a partial-day holiday or a public-service date is not automatically a full day off.

Possible starting points for bridge days include New Year's Day. Check their scope and the days off before or after them.

Compare school breaks separately

The linked school-holiday overview shows published periods and their regions. School breaks do not automatically close workplaces; partial publication is labelled there.

Daylight at the right location

The solar calendar applies to the named reference location and its time zone. Use the place calculator for another city; a country name alone does not determine sunrise times.

Future years and changes

Recurring rules can produce future dates, but cannot anticipate new laws, elections or one-off days off. Recheck distant dates before making a binding plan.
