Good to know: Western Australia planning notes
Western Australia doesn’t observe daylight saving, so families travelling between WA and the eastern states during school holidays should double-check the time difference, which can be up to three hours in summer. WA also has its own Western Australia Day public holiday on the first Monday in June, and typically schedules its King’s (or Queen’s) Birthday public holiday in late September or early October — much later in the year than most other states. Government school dates are the main reference here; Catholic and independent schools in WA may set slightly different student dates.
