Public Holidays in Australia during 2025
What days are you off work in Australia in 2025
Public holidays in Australia are designated days when employees are entitled to take leave from work without losing pay. These holidays vary by state and territory, with each region having its own specific public holidays that may include national celebrations such as Australia Day, ANZAC Day, and Christmas Day, as well as local observances. Understanding public holidays is crucial for effective absence management and staff leave planning, as businesses must comply with legal obligations regarding employee entitlements.
