7/7 FIFO roster calendar 2026 Queensland public holidays

Planning a 7/7 FIFO roster (7 days on, 7 days off) in 2026? This page shows the QLD public holidays that fall across the calendar year and how to overlay them on your swing schedule using FIFO Planner. Holidays in Queensland are relevant to workers based in the state and those working at sites in the Bowen Basin, Surat Basin, and Mount Isa regions.

About the 7/7 roster pattern

Equal swing and R&R — 7 days at site followed by 7 days at home. Popular in civil construction and infrastructure. When planning a 7/7 roster around QLD 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 QLD public holidays on your roster so you can see conflicts and plan leave in advance.

How FIFO Planner handles QLD holidays on your 7/7 roster

FIFO Planner is a free web-based roster planner built specifically for Australian FIFO workers. When you create a 7/7 roster, you can enable the Queensland 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 QLD 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.
