The King’s Birthday is a public holiday observed in most Australian states and territories. It’s a day to recognise the role of the monarchy and enjoy a well-earned long weekend.
Many take the opportunity to relax, travel, or attend local events. Whether you’re spending time with family or enjoying a quiet day off, it’s a welcome mid-year break.
Please note King’s Birthday is celebrated in all states and territories except Western Australia and Queensland on the 8th of June 2026.
