Australia Day is observed differently depending on who you ask. For many it's a day of barbecues, backyard cricket, and citizenship ceremonies. For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians and a growing number of others, the date carries a different meaning. The national conversation around the date continues to evolve.
Leave Planning Tip
When Australia Day falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, a single day of leave creates a four-day weekend. When it falls on a Wednesday, taking Monday and Tuesday off gives you a five-day break for two days of leave.
