Question: when is queen's birthday celebrated in australia

title: Queen's Official Birthday
text: Except in the states of Western Australia and Queensland , Australia observes the Queen 's Birthday on the second Monday in June . Because Western Australia celebrates Western Australia Day ( formerly known as Foundation Day ) on the first Monday in June , the Governor of Western Australia each year proclaims the day on which the state will observe the Queen 's Birthday , based on school terms and the Perth Royal Show . There is no firm rule to determine this date , though it is usually the last Monday of September or the first Monday of October . In 2012 , Queensland celebrated the holiday in October , as the June holiday was reserved to mark Queen Elizabeth II 's Diamond Jubilee as Queen of Australia , after which the holiday has reverted to its traditional date in line with the other eastern Australian states . Starting in 2016 , Queensland celebrates the holiday on the first Monday of October , so that a long weekend coincides with the AFL and NRL grand finals .
