FIFO Roster Calendar
8/6 FIFO roster calendar 2026 — South Australia public holidays
Planning a 8/6 FIFO roster (8 days on, 6 days off) in 2026? This page shows the SA public holidays that fall across the calendar year and how to overlay them on your swing schedule using FIFO Planner. Holidays in South Australia are relevant to workers based in the state and those working at sites in the Olympic Dam, Roxby Downs, and Spencer Gulf regions.
About the 8/6 roster pattern
8 consecutive days on swing at site, followed by 6 days R&R at home. The 14-day cycle aligns with the calendar fortnight. When planning a 8/6 roster around SA 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 SA public holidays on your roster so you can see conflicts and plan leave in advance.

How FIFO Planner handles SA holidays on your 8/6 roster
FIFO Planner is a free web-based roster planner built specifically for Australian FIFO workers. When you create a 8/6 roster, you can enable the South Australia 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 SA 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.
