Queensland Public Holidays 2027

Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 25, 2026

Queensland observes 11 public holidays in 2027: 8 fall on a weekday and 3 land on a weekend, leaving 253 working days across the year. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend, the same as the rest of Australia; what changes is the public holiday set.

How Queensland differs from the national Australian holidays

Queensland reshapes the national calendar in two ways. It adds Easter Saturday, Easter Sunday, and Labour Day on the first Monday of May, and it observes the King's Birthday on the first Monday of October instead of the national June date, so the June holiday is dropped and the October one takes its place. The Royal Queensland Show holiday (the Ekka, in Brisbane) applies only to the Brisbane area, not the whole state, so it is noted here but left out of the statewide count. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend.
