Notes on TAS public holidays

  • Easter Sunday became a statewide statutory holiday via the Statutory Holidays Amendment Act 2026 (assent 9 Oct 2026); WorkSafe lists it from 2027, not 2026.
  • Easter Saturday is not a public holiday in Tasmania.
  • ANZAC Day: no substitute or additional day when it falls on a weekend.
  • New Year's Day 2028: WorkSafe table shows '1 January' (a Saturday), but s.4 of the Statutory Holidays Act 2000 moves New Year's Day on a weekend to the following Monday, so 2028-01-03 is used and flagged tentative.
  • Christmas Day 2027 (Sat): WorkSafe lists 27 December; the Act keeps 25 December and adds the following Monday. Boxing Day on a weekend moves to the following Monday (Sat) or Tuesday (Sun).
  • Easter Tuesday, Devonport Cup and Launceston Cup are generally Tasmanian Public/State Service only; they carry a 'regional' value so they can be excluded from a general count.
  • Royal Hobart Regatta (south) and Recreation Day (north) are mutually exclusive regional holidays.
