Does this list include regional holidays?
No. Only NATIONAL holidays are listed, the ones that apply across Australia. Local patron saint days and district or municipal holidays are deliberately excluded: mixing them would produce a list that applies to no one in particular, because someone in one town does not get another town local holiday off.
This list covers only the NATIONAL public holidays of Australia, the ones that apply countrywide. It does not include local patron saint days or district holidays: for those, check the labour authority of Australia or your local government.
