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

• NSW added a weekday holiday when Anzac Day falls on a weekend, so Anzac Day 2026 (a Saturday) and 2027 (a Sunday) each bring an extra Monday off.
• Bank Holiday (the first Monday in August) applies to banks and some financial institutions only, so it is not listed as a general public holiday.
