FIFO Roster Calendar

2/1 FIFO roster calendar 2026 Northern Territory public holidays

Planning a 2/1 FIFO roster (2 weeks on, 1 week off) in 2026? This page shows the NT public holidays that fall across the calendar year and how to overlay them on your swing schedule using FIFO Planner. Holidays in Northern Territory are relevant to workers based in the state and those working at sites in the Darwin, Tennant Creek, and remote sites regions.

About the 2/1 roster pattern

14 consecutive days on swing at site, followed by 7 days R&R at home. The full cycle repeats every 21 days. When planning a 2/1 roster around NT public holidays, the key is knowing which holidays fall during a swing period — where you may still be required on site — versus during R&R, when you can plan family time or travel. FIFO Planner automatically overlays NT public holidays on your roster so you can see conflicts and plan leave in advance.

How FIFO Planner handles NT holidays on your 2/1 roster

FIFO Planner is a free web-based roster planner built specifically for Australian FIFO workers. When you create a 2/1 roster, you can enable the Northern Territory holiday overlay with one click — confirmed holiday dates appear directly on your swing and R&R calendar, colour-coded so you can see immediately which holidays fall when you are on site versus home.

From there, you can export the full 2026 roster — including NT public holiday markers — as an ICS file to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Microsoft Outlook. The app works fully offline at remote camp sites where reception is poor or unavailable.
