Not legally. Fireworks are illegal for the general public in Australia. Some community groups and even churches might apply for a licence to have fireworks as part of their "Carols by Candlelight" but it is illegal for the general public to set off fireworks, and the authorities have been increasingly clamping down on the activity.

Fireworks are classified as Dangerous Goods. Australia is prone to bushfires at the best of times, but Christmas occurs during summer in Australia, and this is prime bushfire season. The combination of fireworks and tinder-dry bushland would be catastrophic. Only in the Northern Territory can the general public purchase fireworks for recreational use, but the approved period to purchase and use fireworks is restricted to 1 July each year.

There are numerous fireworks displays at public places on New Year's Eve but these are conducted by professional organisations, and sponsored by councils and/or community groups.
