*In 2022 New Year’s Day falls on a Saturday, as a result there is an additional public holiday on Monday the 3rd of January. In 2022 Christmas Day falls on a Sunday, as a result there is an additional public holiday on Tuesday 27th December. From 2019, the Holidays Act 1983 allows for a part-day public holiday from 6pm to midnight on Christmas Eve (24th of December). The Royal Queensland Show (Ekka) Public Holiday is for Brisbane only.

Additional Information

In Queensland, Public Holidays can basically be divided into three groups:

Public Holidays – Statewide

Show Holidays

Other Holidays

Statewide

These are the holidays that we all know and love such as Australia Day, ANZAC Day, Queen’s Birthday, Labour Day and so on. These holidays are generally held on the same day throughout Queensland.

Show Holidays

Most regions of Queensland have access to some form of Show Holiday. These types of public holiday are much less regimented and the designated day off can change between regions for the same show. The Ekka Holiday (Royal Queensland Show) is a good example where Brisbane City have a different day off to the Gold Coast and even the Moreton Region. This allows the show organisers to avoid huge bottlenecks with everyone trying to attend the show on the same day.

There are a large number of smaller local show holidays throughout various regions of Qld.

Other Holidays

From time to time there are one off holidays added to our holiday calendar in special circumstances. For example, in 2016 there was a special Christmas Day public holiday on the 27th December because Christmas Day falls on a Sunday.
