Australian Public Holidays Dates Machine Readable Dataset

Brief description

**The Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet is no longer maintaining this dataset. If you would like to take ownership of this dataset for ongoing maintenance please contact us.**

**PLEASE READ BEFORE USING**

The data format has been updated to align with a tidy data style (http://vita.had.co.nz/papers/tidy-data.html).

The data in this dataset is **manually** collected and combined in a csv format from the following state and territory portals:

- https://www.cmtedd.act.gov.au/communication/holidays
- https://www.nsw.gov.au/about-nsw/public-holidays
- https://nt.gov.au/nt-public-holidays
- https://www.qld.gov.au/recreation/travel/holidays/public
- https://www.safework.sa.gov.au/resources/public-holidays
- https://worksafe.tas.gov.au/topics/laws-and-compliance/public-holidays
- https://business.vic.gov.au/business-information/public-holidays
- https://www.commerce.wa.gov.au/labour-relations/public-holidays-western-australia

The data API by default returns only the first 100 records. The JSON response will contain a key that shows the link for the next page of records.
Alternatively you can view all records by updating the limit on the endpoint or using a query to select all records, i.e. /api/3/action/datastore_search_sql?sql=SELECT * from "{{resource_id}}".
