Christmas Public Holiday Dates
Christmas Day – Sunday 25 December or Tuesday 27 December
Boxing Day – Monday 26 December
New Years Day – Sunday 1 January or Tuesday 3 January 2023
Day after New Years Day – Monday 2 January 2023
If Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Day or 2 January are on a Saturday or Sunday and you do not normally work weekends, the next work day (or days) will be the public holidays.
Example:
If Christmas Day and Boxing Day fall on a Saturday and Sunday and:
you usually work Monday to Friday — you’ll get Monday 27 and Tuesday 28 December as paid public holidays
you usually work weekends — you’ll get Saturday and Sunday as paid days off. Or, if you work, you’ll be paid time and a half and be able to take a paid day off later.
