How Australian State Budgets Work

Under Australia's federal system, each state and territory raises its own revenue — payroll tax, land tax, stamp duty — and receives GST distributions. States fund hospitals, schools, public transport, police and roads. State budgets are typically handed down between May and June each year, independently of the Federal Budget.

Frequently Asked Questions — Australian State Budgets 2026

When are Australian state budgets handed down in 2026?
Australian state and territory budgets are typically delivered between May and June each year, independently of the federal budget. Each of the 8 jurisdictions sets its own budget date — check the live countdown cards above for exact dates.
How many state and territory budgets are there in Australia?
Australia has 8 budget jurisdictions: 6 states (NSW, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania) and 2 self-governing territories (ACT and Northern Territory). Each delivers its own annual budget independently of the Commonwealth.
What is the combined revenue of all Australian states and territories?
The combined revenue across all 8 Australian state and territory budgets in 2026 is approximately $371 billion. New South Wales and Victoria are the largest contributors, reflecting their bigger economies and populations.
What is the difference between the federal budget and state budgets?
The Australian federal budget covers national spending — defence, Medicare, social security, and universities. State and territory budgets fund state-run services: public hospitals, state schools, police, roads, TAFE, and public transport. States raise own-source revenue through payroll tax, land tax, and stamp duty, and also receive GST distribution payments from the Commonwealth.
What do state budgets fund?
State and territory budgets fund the services Australians use every day: public hospitals, state schools and TAFE, police and emergency services, roads and public transport, and social housing. Priorities vary by government and are outlined on each state's page.
