Here’s how.

In 2019, Good Friday falls on April 19, Easter Monday is 22 April and Anzac Day is Thursday, April 25.

Club these public holidays with two weekends and you have seven days off without annual leave, leaving you to take only three days of your annual leave.

Take a look:

  1. Friday 19 April (Good Friday)
  2. Saturday 20 April
  3. Sunday 21 April
  4. Monday 22 April (Easter Monday)
  5. Tuesday 23 April (annual leave, unless you live in Tasmania)
  6. Wednesday 24 April (annual leave)
  7. Thursday 25 April (Anzac Day)
  8. Friday 26 April (annual leave)
  9. Saturday 27 April
  10. Sunday 28 April
Monday 29 April (back to work)

For those who live in Tasmania, Easter Tuesday is a public holiday which means taking only two days of your annual leave.

And these dates also coincide with school holidays in some states, giving you the perfect opportunity to travel with your kids.

There you have it! Enjoy!
