Western Australia FAQ

How many public holidays does Western Australia have in 2026?

Western Australia has 13 statewide public holidays in 2026. The full list above is generated from WA's holiday rules and checked against the WA Government Gazette.

Why is WA's King's Birthday in September?

WA Day already sits in June, so Western Australia pushes the King's Birthday to late September. The exact Monday is proclaimed each year - we update as soon as it is.

Does WA get a substitute for a weekend Anzac Day?

Yes. When 25 April falls on a Saturday or Sunday, WA declares the following Monday a public holiday as well.
