Tasmania Business Day Calculator

Tasmania's own holidays, year by year

A holiday defined by a rule (the first Monday of a month, the Friday before Easter) keeps its weekday and moves its date; one defined by a date keeps its date and moves its weekday. The table gives Tasmania's own days for each year:

How Tasmania's rules play out across 2026 to 2028

Tasmania adds Eight Hours Day on the second Monday of March (s 4(c)) and, since an amendment that commenced on 9 October 2026, Easter Sunday (s 4(da)). Eight Hours Day, the second Monday of March, falls on Monday, March 9, 2026, Monday, March 8, 2027, and Monday, March 13, 2028. The substituted year-end days, which replace their weekend dates rather than join them, are Monday, December 28, 2026, Tuesday, December 28, 2027, and Monday, January 3, 2028.

Anzac Day shows how much the weekend rules matter, year by year:

25 April is a Saturday in 2026. Under s 4(g), a bare date, no weekday is granted, so the holiday costs no working day this year.

25 April is a Sunday in 2027. Under s 4(g), a bare date, no weekday is granted, so the holiday costs no working day this year.

25 April is a Tuesday in 2028, so Anzac Day is a public holiday on that weekday itself and s 4(g) never needed a weekend clause.

Every weekday where Tasmania and the national Australian set part company, 2026 to 2028

A Tasmania count and a count on the national Australian set give the same answer unless the span crosses one of these dates. Each public holiday that only Tasmania has on a weekday pushes a Tasmania deadline one working day later; each one that only the national Australian set has pulls it one day earlier.

Three dates across three years. Weekend holidays are left out because they take no working day either way.

Worked counts across Tasmania's own dates

Each example starts on the working day before a date from the table above and adds three working days on both calendars, computed by the same engine as the calculator:

• From Friday, March 6, 2026, three working days in Tasmania reach Thursday, March 12; on the national Australian set they reach Wednesday, March 11. The difference is Eight Hours Day on Monday, March 9.

Tasmania working days by year

Each year's total is its weekdays less the holidays that land on them, so the gap to the national Australian set is exactly the holidays on a weekday that only one of the two lists has that year.

Tasmania dates for the calculator's Advanced options

The Australia calculator counts the national Australian set. Its Advanced options accept extra dates to exclude, one per line and nothing else on the line, so pasting this block adds Tasmania's own weekday dates for 2026 to 2028. The table above names each date.

2026-03-09
2027-03-08
2028-03-13

Tasmania's list has every public holiday on the national Australian set, so these additions are all the calculator needs.

Area holidays in Tasmania, 2026 to 2028

An area holiday is a public holiday in part of Tasmania only, so no count for the whole state can include it. A count for a span inside one of these areas has to take its own date out by hand:
