The Australian, ACT and NSW governments have been working together on options for future service delivery arrangements to the Jervis Bay Territory (JBT), following the 2014 review of JBT service delivery. 

Change to the 2018 Public Holiday Schedule

The Jervis Bay Territory observes the same calendar as the ACT. As a result of an alteration to the ACT’s public holiday schedule, Australia’s first Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander focussed public holiday will be observed in the JBT next year.
