Australia School Holidays 2025

School holiday dates for all regions

2025 2026 2027
This page sets out the complete 2025 school holiday calendar for Australia. Australia has 8 regions, and each one fixes its own school holiday dates, so start and end days can differ noticeably from one region to the next. Across the country, a typical region schedules about 90 days of holiday over the year, ranging from 81 days in the shortest calendar to 101 days in the longest. Summer holidays are staggered across regions — Northern Territory tends to break up earliest and New South Wales latest — a system designed to avoid the whole country going on holiday at once. Scroll down for the full list of dates in each region, including the shorter breaks that are easy to overlook when planning ahead.

New South Wales

New South Wales has 82 days of school holiday in 2025, with the summer break running 20 December–27 January. That makes it one of the shorter calendars nationally. It is one of the last to break up for summer.
