On December 1st 2016 an amendment to the Holidays Act 1983 was passed by Parliament prescribing that from 2017, Easter Sunday be appointed as a public holiday.
Anzac Day public holiday is to be observed on 25 April each year or, if 25 April is a Sunday, it shall be observed on the following Monday.
From Christmas Day 2011, the Holidays Act 1983 provides for an extra public holiday to be added when Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Year’s Day falls on a weekend.
