Victoria Public Holidays 2027

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

Victoria observes 12 public holidays in 2027: 9 fall on a weekday and 3 land on a weekend, leaving 252 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 Victoria differs from the national Australian holidays

Victoria layers its own public holidays on top of the national Australian set. It adds Labour Day on the second Monday of March, Easter Saturday and Easter Sunday, the Friday before the AFL Grand Final in late September, and Melbourne Cup Day on the first Tuesday of November. Victoria does not move Anzac Day when 25 April falls on a weekend, and its King's Birthday is the same June date as the national set. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend, so the extra weekday holidays are what shift due dates.
