Western Australia Public Holidays 2027

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

Western Australia observes 11 public holidays in 2027: 10 fall on a weekday and 1 land on a weekend, leaving 251 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 Western Australia differs from the national Australian holidays

Western Australia keeps the national framework but shifts and adds key days. It takes Labour Day on the first Monday of March, gazettes an extra public holiday for Anzac Day on the following Monday when 25 April falls on a weekend, observes Western Australia Day on the first Monday of June, and holds the King's Birthday on a separate date in late September rather than the national June date, so the June holiday is dropped. Western Australia does not observe Easter Saturday or Easter Sunday. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend.
