Are all Victoria holidays guaranteed paid days off?

No. Anzac Day stays on April 25 in Victoria even when it falls on a Saturday or Sunday — there is no Monday substitute, unlike the NSW public holiday calendar. Local event days and employment arrangements can also differ. Always compare this calendar with your employment agreement and workplace calendar.

Why can my observed holiday date be different?

Weekend holidays, substitute days, collective agreements, and company policies can move the day you actually receive off. Add the date supplied by your employer as a Company Day Off before optimizing.

How are the 10, 15, and 20-day PTO results calculated?

They are generated by Holiday Optimizer's Balanced strategy for 2027, using a standard Monday-to-Friday workweek, the holiday dates on this page, and no pre-booked or company-specific days. Your personalized result can differ.

Victoria public holidays and PTO planner

Victoria's calendar is built around two holidays no other state has — AFL Grand Final Friday and Melbourne Cup Day — and moves Labour Day to early March instead of NSW's October date. Unlike NSW, Victoria does not shift Anzac Day to the following Monday when it falls on a weekend.

Planning baseline—not an employer calendar. Confirm paid holidays and observed dates with your workplace before requesting leave.
