Our Mission
At Calendar 2026 Australia, we believe that everyone deserves to make the most of their time off. Our mission is simple: to provide Australians with the most accurate, comprehensive, and user-friendly calendar resource for planning holidays, annual leave, and family time throughout 2026.
We understand that navigating Australia's complex public holiday system can be challenging. With eight states and territories each observing their own unique holidays alongside national celebrations, planning can quickly become confusing. That's why we've created a centralised resource that brings together all the information you need in one place.
What We Offer
Our website provides several key features designed to help you plan your year effectively:
Interactive 2026 Calendar
Our flagship tool displays all twelve months of 2026 with colour-coded public holidays. Easily identify national holidays, state-specific observances, and weekend combinations that create long weekend opportunities. The calendar is designed for both digital viewing and printing, ensuring you always have access to your schedule.
State-by-State Holiday Information
Australia's federal system means holiday dates vary significantly between states. We provide detailed information for New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania, Northern Territory, and the Australian Capital Territory, so you're never caught off guard by regional variations.
Strategic Leave Planning Guides
Our expert guides show you how to maximise your annual leave. Learn how to turn twenty days of leave into forty or more days off by strategically booking around public holidays. We calculate the optimal times to take leave for maximum holiday enjoyment.
Comprehensive Blog Content
Our blog features in-depth articles on topics ranging from school holiday dates to travel destination guides. Whether you're planning an Easter getaway or want to understand the history of Australian public holidays, our content library has you covered.
Why Accurate Holiday Information Matters
Incorrect holiday information can lead to missed opportunities, wasted leave days, and travel disruptions. We compile our data from official government sources, including state and territory government gazettes, to ensure accuracy. When dates are gazetted or adjusted, we update our information promptly.
For businesses, accurate holiday information is essential for workforce planning, payroll calculations, and customer service scheduling. For families, it means avoiding the frustration of arriving at a destination only to find attractions closed or accommodation fully booked.
Our Commitment to Quality
We are committed to providing:
- Accuracy: All holiday dates are verified against official government sources
- Comprehensiveness: Coverage of all national and state-specific holidays
- Accessibility: A user-friendly design that works on all devices
- Timeliness: Regular updates to reflect any changes to holiday schedules
- Depth: Expert guides and articles that go beyond simple date listings
Looking Ahead
As 2026 approaches, we're continuously expanding our content library with new guides, travel tips, and planning resources. We welcome feedback from our users and strive to address the questions and needs of Australians planning their year ahead.
Whether you're an employee looking to maximise your annual leave, a parent coordinating school holidays, a business owner planning operations, or simply someone who wants to know when the next long weekend falls, Calendar 2026 Australia is here to help.
