When a holiday falls on a weekend

Most states add an “additional” public holiday on a weekday when Christmas Day, Boxing Day or (in some states) Anzac Day falls on a weekend. The additional days are listed above. Weekend dates such as Easter Saturday are still public holidays for people who work them, which matters for penalty rates.

Good to know

• The Territory also has regional show days (Alice Springs, Tennant Creek, Katherine, Darwin), which are set locally and not listed here.
