About Northern Territory Public Holidays 2026
This page provides a comprehensive list of all public holidays in Northern Territory for 2026. Public holidays are important for planning annual leave, managing payroll, calculating working days, and ensuring business compliance.
Planning Your 2026 Leave
Use this calendar to strategically plan your annual leave around public holidays to maximize time off. Many employees plan long weekends by taking leave adjacent to public holidays, especially when they fall on Mondays or Fridays.
Payroll and Working Days
Public holidays affect payroll calculations, employee entitlements, and working day calculations. Use our Working Days Calculator to accurately calculate business days between dates, automatically accounting for these public holidays.
Northern Territory-Specific Holidays
In addition to national public holidays observed across Australia, Northern Territory has state-specific public holidays. These dates are official public holidays only within Northern Territory and may not be observed in other states or territories.
