King's Birthday 2030

The date varies: 3 different dates in 2030

Second Monday of June in New South Wales and Victoria, first Monday of June in New Zealand, first Monday of October in Queensland. In Western Australia it was a date proclaimed each year, usually the last Monday of September, until 2027; from 2028 it is the second Monday of June.

In 2030, King's Birthday falls on 3 different dates: on Monday 3 June 2030 in New Zealand; on Monday 10 June 2030 in New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia; on Monday 7 October 2030 in Queensland. Every date is a Monday, so each gives a three-day weekend. The 2030 date for New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia and New Zealand is provisional – calculated from the rule, because the official calendar for that year is not published yet. For comparison in New South Wales, the 2029 date was Monday 11 June 2029 and the 2031 date is Monday 9 June 2031.

About King's Birthday

The King's Birthday holiday marks the official birthday of the sovereign, not the King's actual birthday, which is 14 November. Each country, and in Australia each State, chooses its own date, so the same holiday falls months apart.

In New South Wales and Victoria it is the second Monday of June, and in New Zealand the first Monday of June. Queensland holds it on the first Monday of October. Western Australia set its date by proclamation each year, usually in late September, until 2027; the Public and Bank Holiday Amendment Act 2026 moves it to the second Monday of June from 2028 and adds a separate Show Day, set by proclamation, in the September school holidays. Some regional towns in Western Australia hold the King's Birthday on a local date instead; this site counts the statewide date only.

The United Kingdom has no public holiday for the sovereign's birthday, and in Canada the sovereign's birthday is marked by Victoria Day in May. As a Monday holiday the King's Birthday never needs a substitute day and always gives a three-day weekend.
