ACT Business Days Calculator – Working Days in Canberra

Calculate Australian Capital Territory working days between two dates, or move a date by a number of business days. Weekends and official ACT public holidays for 2026 and 2027 are excluded.

General information only. This ACT page applies published public holiday dates to calendar maths. It is not legal, employment or financial product advice. Check the official Australian Capital Territory list and your award or agreement. That matches ASIC’s general-information approach.
Date range: This calculator only covers dates in years that have official public holiday data on this site (currently 2026 and 2027). Dates outside that window are rejected because weekend-only maths would miss gazetted holidays. See the dated list onACT public holidays.

Holiday settings

These results use Australian Capital Territory public holidays. Other states have their own pages.

Dates must fall between 2026-01-01 and 2027-12-31. Those are the years with official holiday lists on this site. SeeAustralian public holidays.

      Canberra weekdays this calculator treats as holidays

      The ACT list includes Canberra Day in March, Reconciliation Day, Labour Day in October and the June King’s Birthday holiday, plus the national weekday holidays. When Anzac Day falls on a weekend, the extra weekday in the ACT list is skipped too.

      The ACT source list used here is Territory-wide, so the default settings already remove the usual Canberra public holidays. Confirm any workplace-specific shutdown against the official ACT employment-framework page.

      The working-day span includes both ends when those dates are working days. Adding business days starts after the from date. Results cannot leave 2026-01-01 to2027-12-31.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What is a ACT business day on this page?

      A Australian Capital Territory business day is a weekday that is not a statewide ACT public holiday in the official 2026 and 2027 lists. Weekends are never counted. Regional or limited observances stay in the total unless you include them.

      Where do the ACT holiday dates come from?

      They are the same official dates shown on the ACT public holidays pages. This calculator does not keep a second copy of those lists. The government source is Australian Capital Territory.

      Can I enter dates outside 2026 and 2027?

      This calculator only covers dates in years that have official public holiday data on this site (currently 2026 and 2027). Dates outside that window are rejected because weekend-only maths would miss gazetted holidays.

      Is Canberra Day excluded from ACT working days?

      Yes. Canberra Day is a Territory-wide public holiday in the official list, so that Monday is not counted as a business day.

      Is Reconciliation Day a working day in this ACT calculator?

      No. Reconciliation Day is listed as an ACT public holiday and is skipped when you count working days or add business days.

      Is the ACT result legal or employment advice?

      No. The figure is general information for planning. It is not an interpretation of an award, not a Fair Work decision, and not financial product advice. ASIC’s general-information standard applies: confirm the gazette and your own workplace rules before you rely on a date.
