class=\"wp-block-heading\">How far can you stretch your annual leave in 2027?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2027, a few well-placed annual leave days can turn public holidays into four-to-10-day holidays, depending on where you live, your working week and any additional workplace holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Public holiday<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Annual leave needed<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Total break and best suited to<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>New Year\u2019s Day, Friday 1 January<\/td><td>4 days for a 7-day break, or five days for 10 days<\/td><td>Longer domestic escape or international beach

class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. New Year\u2019s Day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Public holiday:<\/strong> Friday 1 January<br><strong>Take annual leave:<\/strong> Monday 4 January to Thursday 7 January (four days)<br><strong>Total break:<\/strong> Friday 1 January to Sunday 10 January \u2013 (10 days)<br><strong>Best suited to:<\/strong> A longer domestic escape or an international beach holiday<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting the year with four days of leave can create a 10-day break. It\u2019s a useful window for a summer road trip, a coastal stay or a longer flight to somewhere cooler in the Northern Hemisphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Australia Day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Public holiday:<\/strong> Tuesday 26 January<br><strong>Take annual leave:<\/strong> Monday 25 January \u2013 (one day)<br><strong>Total break:<\/strong> Saturday 23 January to Tuesday 26 January \u2013 (four days)<br><strong>Best suited to:<\/strong> A short city break, regional stay or long weekend by the coast<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One day away from work creates a useful long weekend. Keep this break close to home and you can spend more time enjoying the destination than travelling to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Easter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Public holidays:<\/strong> Good Friday 26 March and Easter Monday 29 March<br><strong>Take annual leave:<\/strong> Tuesday 30 March to Friday 2 April \u2013 (four days)<br><strong>Total break:<\/strong> Friday 26 March to Sunday 4 April \u2013 (10 days)<br><strong>Best suited to:<\/strong> A domestic resort stay, overseas beach holiday, tour or cruise<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Easter is one of the clearest leave-saving opportunities of the year. Four weekdays can give you enough time for a longer interstate trip, beach resort stay, guided tour or overseas holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. King\u2019s Birthday<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Public holiday:<\/strong> Monday 14 June where observed<br><strong>Take annual leave:<\/strong> Tuesday 15 June to Friday 18 June \u2013 four days<br><strong>Total break:<\/strong> Saturday 12 June to Sunday 20 June \u2013 nine days<br><strong>Best suited to:<\/strong> A mid-year city break, warm-weather resort or winter escape<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The King\u2019s Birthday falls on Monday 14 June in the ACT, NSW, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria. Northern Territory also observes the holiday on this date. Queensland celebrates it on Monday 4 October, while Western Australia observes it on Monday 27 September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your state observes the June public holiday, four days of leave creates a nine-day break. It\u2019s a useful time for a city stay, a food-and-wine weekend or a warm-weather escape before the winter school holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Christmas and Boxing Day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Public holidays:<\/strong> Christmas Day on Saturday 25 December and Boxing Day on Sunday 26 December<br><strong>Substitute holidays:<\/strong> Monday 27 December and Tuesday 28 December in many jurisdictions<br><strong>Take annual leave:<\/strong> Wednesday 29 December to Friday 31 December \u2013 three days<br><strong>Total break:<\/strong> Confirm with your state or territory\u2019s 2027\u201328 calendar<br><strong>Best suited to:<\/strong> A festive domestic holiday, family escape or longer international trip<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your state-by-state guides to longer breaks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each state also has its own public holidays. Here\u2019s how you can maximise your days off, state by state.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Australian Capital Territory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Canberra Day:<\/strong> Monday 8 March<br><strong>Take annual leave:<\/strong> Tuesday 9 March to Friday 12 March \u2013 four days<br><strong>Total break:<\/strong> Saturday 6 March to Sunday 14 March \u2013 nine days<br><strong>Best suited to:<\/strong> A Canberra city break, regional food and wine stay or NSW South Coast holiday<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ACT also observes Reconciliation Day on Monday 31 May and the King\u2019s Birthday on Monday 14 June. These two holidays sit close enough together to create a useful mid-year planning window, although the exact leave combination depends on how many days you can take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New South Wales<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Anzac Day additional holiday:<\/strong> Monday 26 April<br><strong>Take annual leave:<\/strong> Tuesday 27 April to Friday 30 April \u2013 four days<br><strong>Total break:<\/strong> Saturday 24 April to Sunday 2 May \u2013 nine days<br><strong>Best suited to:<\/strong> A coastal stay, Hunter Valley escape or Sydney city break<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NSW receives an additional public holiday on Monday 26 April because Anzac Day falls on a Sunday. Four days of leave afterwards create a nine-day break. The King\u2019s Birthday falls on Monday 14 June, while Labour Day falls on Monday 4 October. Both create further nine-day opportunities when paired with four days of annual leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Northern Territory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>May Day:<\/strong> Monday 3 May<br><strong>Take annual leave:<\/strong> Tuesday 4 May to Friday 7 May \u2013 four days<br><strong>Total break:<\/strong> Saturday 1 May to Sunday 9 May \u2013 nine days<br><strong>Best suited to:<\/strong> A Darwin stay, Top End adventure or tropical escape<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Northern Territory also observes the King\u2019s Birthday on Monday 14 June and Picnic Day on Monday 2 August. Four days of leave after either holiday create nine-day breaks. For a shorter option, the Brisbane-style two-day pattern does not apply here, so prioritise the Monday holidays when planning a longer trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Queensland<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Labour Day:<\/strong> Monday 3 May<br><strong>Take annual leave:<\/strong> Tuesday 4 May to Friday 7 May \u2013 four days<br><strong>Total break:<\/strong> Saturday 1 May to Sunday 9 May \u2013 nine days<br><strong>Best suited to:<\/strong> A Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast or Tropical North Queensland escape<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Queensland\u2019s King\u2019s Birthday falls on Monday 4 October, creating another nine-day opportunity with four days of leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Brisbane, the Royal Queensland Show public holiday falls on Wednesday 11 August. Take Monday 9 August and Tuesday 10 August to create a five-day break from Saturday 7 August to Wednesday 11 August. The show holiday varies by location, so check whether it applies to your workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">South Australia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Adelaide Cup Day:<\/strong> Monday 8 March<br><strong>Take annual leave:<\/strong> Tuesday 9 March to Friday 12 March \u2013 four days<br><strong>Total break:<\/strong> Saturday 6 March to Sunday 14 March \u2013 nine days<br><strong>Best suited to:<\/strong> An Adelaide city break, Barossa Valley stay or Fleurieu Peninsula escape<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Australia also observes the King\u2019s Birthday on Monday 14 June and Labour Day on Monday 4 October. Both create nine-day breaks when paired with four days of annual leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The state has additional arrangements around Christmas, Proclamation Day, Christmas Eve and New Year\u2019s Eve. Check the official state calendar before planning a longer festive holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tasmania<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Royal Hobart Show:<\/strong> Thursday 21 October<br><strong>Take annual leave:<\/strong> Friday 22 October and Monday 25 October \u2013 two days<br><strong>Total break:<\/strong> Thursday 21 October to Monday 25 October \u2013 five days<br><strong>Best suited to:<\/strong> A Hobart food-and-wine break, vineyard stay or Tasmanian road trip<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tasmania\u2019s Royal Hobart Regatta falls on Monday 8 February in selected areas, while Eight Hours Day falls on Monday 8 March statewide. The King\u2019s Birthday falls on Monday 14 June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Royal Hobart Show creates a useful five-day break with only two days of annual leave. The holiday applies only in selected areas, so confirm eligibility before booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Victoria<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Labour Day:<\/strong> Monday 8 March<br><strong>Take annual leave:<\/strong> Tuesday 9 March to Friday 12 March \u2013 four days<br><strong>Total break:<\/strong> Saturday 6 March to Sunday 14 March \u2013 nine days<br><strong>Best suited to:<\/strong> A Melbourne city break, Yarra Valley stay or coastal escape<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Victoria observes the King\u2019s Birthday on Monday 14 June.

At Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort, you can settle beside the saltwater lagoon, wake to daily breakfast and raise a glass each evening \u2013 all without spending half the break in transit. It\u2019s an easy fit for a two or three-night stay, particularly if you\u2019re travelling from Queensland, NSW or Victoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"lux_UI lux_single_dealcard

without the long travel time. At Discovery Resorts Rottnest Island, beachside eco glamping, daily breakfast and a dining credit make it easy to settle into island time from the moment you arrive. Stay for a long weekend, or why not make it the first stop on a longer Western Australian coastal adventure?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For a nine-day break: take the long way through the Flinders Ranges<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take the scenic route through South Australia and let your holiday be about the journey as well as the destination. Build your road trip around Arkaba Homestead in the Flinders Ranges, where an adults-only all-inclusive stay includes guided safaris and unlimited free-flow drinks. Spend a few days exploring the region, then make the homestead the memorable centrepiece of your escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For Easter\u2019s 10-day break: slow down in Nusa Dua<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Easter gives you enough time to make Bali feel like a holiday, not just a change of scenery. At Grand Hyatt Bali, you can spend the first few days settling into Nusa Dua\u2019s quieter resort rhythm, with pool time, all-inclusive dining and massages, then use a day or two to explore Uluwatu\u2019s clifftop temple or Jimbaran\u2019s seafood restaurants. With unlimited free-flow drinks included, there\u2019s still time to return to the resort, slow down and enjoy the final days of your break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"lux_UI lux_single_dealcard
