King's Birthday
Monday, 5 Oct 2026 · Australia · Regional (AU-QLD) · Public holiday
Bridge day check
Falls on a Monday, so it makes a three-day weekend with no leave needed.
What the day is for
Observed on different dates by state and now marking the monarch's official birthday rather than any actual one. Western Australia and Queensland set their own dates.
Do shops and banks close?
Banks close; retail trades with surcharges.
Getting around
Sunday timetables and a busy long-weekend road network.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
