Is 12 June a public holiday?

No Saturday 12 June 2027 is not a public holiday anywhere in Australia. The nearest public holidays are Western Australia Day on Mon 7 Jun (WA), and King's Birthday on Mon 14 Jun (VIC, NSW, SA, TAS, NT and ACT).

Public holidays are set state by state, so the same date can be a day off in one state and a normal Monday in the next. Here is what 12 June looks like in every published year.

  1. Thursday 12 June 2025 Regional only

    • Rockhampton Agricultural Show regional
      QLD
      Rockhampton only

    A Thursday, so one day of leave on Fri 13 Jun turns it into a four-day break in QLD (in the areas that observe it).

  2. Friday 12 June 2026 Regional only

    • Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show regional
      QLD
      Sunshine Coast only

    A Friday, so it makes a three-day weekend in QLD (in the areas that observe it). The long weekend planner shows what a few days of leave either side would add.

  3. Saturday 12 June 2027 Working day

    No public holiday in any state or territory.

  4. Monday 12 June 2028 Public holiday

    A Monday, so it makes a three-day weekend in VIC, NSW, SA, TAS, NT and ACT. The long weekend planner shows what a few days of leave either side would add.

  • King's Birthday

    The King's Birthday holiday does not fall on King Charles III's birthday, which is 14 November, and the Queen's Birthday holiday before it never fell on Queen Elizabeth II's birthday either. The June date comes from King George V, whose birthday was 3 June. When he died in 1936 Australia kept the June holiday rather than moving it for each new monarch. The holiday was renamed King's Birthday after the Queen's death in September 2022, with the first King's Birthday holidays taken in 2023. The King's Birthday Honours list, which recognises Australians for service in every field, is announced on the June long weekend regardless of which date a state observes the holiday.

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.
