How trading hours are regulated in each State/Territory
Trading hours are subject to regulation at the state and territory level. While some jurisdictions only regulate trading hours on public holidays and other occasions, other states restrict hours generally or have other restrictions based on geographic area or type of retailer.
Generally, in jurisdictions that have regulations, small businesses are considered “exempt” from trading hour restrictions and it is “non-exempt” retailers, supermarkets and department stores that are most restricted in the hours that they can open.
Public holidays also vary across states and territories and so do the restrictions that apply for these holidays.
| State | Regulation Status | Notes |
| ACT | Deregulated | Retailers just need to be aware of public holidays. |
| NSW | Some regulation of specified public holidays | Some public holidays (Good Friday, Easter Sunday, ANZAC Day before 1pm, Christmas Day and Boxing Day are restricted under the Retail Trading Act 2008 (NSW).
However, there are many exemptions for different types of retailers (set out in Schedule 1 of the Act), including a broad exemption for small shops which are defined as having 4 or fewer employees. |
| NT | Deregulated | Retailers just need to be aware of public holidays. |
| QLD | Regulated | Queensland updated its Trading (Allowable Hours) 1990 legislation with amendments in 2022, however, trading hours are still restricted according to location and/or type of retailer. |
| SA | Regulated | SA has recently updated its Shop Trading Hour Act 1977 to enable less restricted trading hours, allowing most shops to now open from 9am on Sundays and Public Holidays, and to allow trading on Boxing Day for certain shops, as well as three midnight trading days in the lead up to Christmas. |
| TAS | Regulated | Tasmanian trading hours are regulated under the Shop Trading Hours Act 1984 according to location and/or type of shop. |
| VIC | Some regulation of specified public holidays | Partially deregulated.
Some restrictions apply for Christmas, Good Friday and ANZAC Day with exemptions for certain types of retailers, including cafes and chemists. |
| WA | Regulated | Trading hours are regulated in WA under the Retail Trading Hours Act 1987 (WA) according to location and/or category of retailer with small retail shops unrestricted. |
