Tasmania Public Holidays 2026
Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026
Tasmania observes 9 public holidays in 2026: 8 fall on a weekday and 1 land on a weekend, leaving 253 working days across the year. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend, the same as the rest of Australia; what changes is the public holiday set.
How Tasmania differs from the national Australian holidays
Tasmania differs from the national set in one statewide way: it takes Eight Hours Day on the second Monday of March, marking the introduction of the eight-hour working day. Tasmania does not observe Easter Saturday or Easter Sunday statewide (Easter Tuesday is a Tasmanian Public Service holiday only), and it does not move Anzac Day when 25 April falls on a weekend. Two further holidays are area-specific rather than statewide: the Royal Hobart Regatta in the south and Recreation Day in the north, so neither is counted here. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend.
