The holidays that fall on 1 June

  • Reconciliation Day

    Reconciliation Day is the newest regular public holiday in Australia and the only one dedicated to reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians. The ACT introduced it in 2018, replacing the Family and Community Day holiday, so the number of holidays in the territory did not change. It falls on the first Monday on or after 27 May. That date is the anniversary of the 1967 referendum, in which more than 90 per cent of Australians voted to count Aboriginal people in the census and to let the Commonwealth make laws for them. National Reconciliation Week runs every year from 27 May to 3 June, the anniversary of the High Court's Mabo decision, so the holiday always opens the week.

  • Western Australia Day

    Western Australia Day marks the founding of the Swan River Colony in June 1829, when the first settlers arrived at the mouth of the Swan River under Captain James Stirling. For most of its life the holiday was called Foundation Day. It was renamed Western Australia Day in 2012 to make it a celebration of everyone in the state, including the Noongar people whose country the colony was established on, rather than only the colonial anniversary. It is a WA-only holiday, taken on the first Monday in June. That is the same weekend the eastern states take the King's Birthday, which is why WA moves its King's Birthday holiday to September rather than having two long weekends a week apart.

    More about Western Australia Day

June in the public holiday calendar

June is the King's Birthday month for most of the country, on the second Monday, but not for all of it. Western Australia takes WA Day on the first Monday instead and holds its King's Birthday in September, and Queensland holds its King's Birthday in October. Reconciliation Day in the ACT can spill into the first days of June. The June long weekend is the last public holiday before a long gap in NSW, Victoria, SA, Tasmania and the ACT: nothing until August at the earliest, and October for most.
