What Easter public holidays do I get this year?

Here's a state-by-state (and territory) guide to the Easter weekend public holidays in Australia.

While each state and territory does recognise the long weekend, there are some differences in what public holidays each jurisdiction grants.Every state and territory in Australia observes both Good Friday, which falls on Friday, March 29, and Easter Monday, which this year is on April 1.

With the Saturday and Sunday in between, that makes for a four-day weekend for many workers, but there are some slight variations from state to state about how the weekend days are treated.Most governments consider Easter Sunday – which falls on March 31 this year – to be a public holiday.But if you live in South Australia or Tasmania, those states don't consider Easter Sunday an official public holiday.

However, Tasmania is the one state that has a public holiday no one else does: in the Apple Isle, Easter Tuesday is observed – although it usually just applies to state government public servants.
