King's Birthday Holiday

6 October

The King’s Birthday is a public holiday celebrated in QLD on the First Monday of October.

King Charles III is the constitutional monarch of 16 sovereign states and the Supreme Governor of the Church of England. He was born on 14 November 1948 but his birthday is celebrated on a separate date. In Britain, the monarch’s birthday has been celebrated since 1748 and, in Australia, every year since the First Fleet arrived in 1788.
