Annual Leave Planner

If you are employed full time you will be able to accrue 20 days Annual Leave during the year. Follow our Annual Leave planner to make the most of your leave. Each State and Territory has different public holidays. If you live in the ACT you could get a whopping 55 days off.

By organising your Annual Leave around public holidays you can spend more time away from work.

Get in quick because not everyone can have the same time off, and make sure you have someone to cover your work whilst you are away, leaving jobs unfinished is not going to make you very popular when you return. Just remember not to go ahead and book a non-refundable flight before you get your leave approved!

Scroll down to find the best times to book your annual leave in your State or Territory in 2020.
