No — today is not a public holiday anywhere in Australia.

Tuesday 8 September 2026 in Sydney — each state and territory is checked on its own clock.

Today across Australia

Eight parliaments set eight lists, and the same date can be a holiday on one side of a border and an ordinary Tuesday on the other. Pick your jurisdiction for the dates and the section of the Act behind each one.

Every calendar site publishes a table. This one answers the question.

“Is today a public holiday?” and “when is the next one?” both need today's date, which is why a PDF and a printed table answer them badly. Whenday computes the answer, shows the year underneath as the working, and tells you which section of which Act each date comes from.

Start with public holidays in NSW, or pick any state or territory. Term dates and breaks are under school holidays, and every long weekend, month by month is worked out from the same data. Read how the dates are checked before you trust them.

Published so far

A jurisdiction appears here once its dates have been read from its own Act or gazette — never from another calendar site, and never guessed from last year's pattern.
