Frequently asked questions
When is the next long weekend in Victoria?
The next long weekend in Victoria is Christmas Day + Boxing Day (additional public holiday) (Fri 25 – Mon 28 Dec), which starts in 88 days.
How can I maximise my long weekends with leave?
The best strategy is to take leave on days adjacent to public holidays. For example, if a holiday falls on a Thursday, taking Friday off gives you a 4-day weekend using just 1 day of leave.
Which long weekend in Victoria needs the least leave?
Long weekends that fall on a Friday or Monday need no leave at all -- look for the "No leave needed" tag above. Others show exactly how many leave days to book for the payoff.
Does Melbourne Cup Day create a long weekend in Victoria?
Melbourne Cup Day always falls on a Tuesday, so taking the Monday before as a single leave day turns it into a four-day weekend. See the Melbourne Cup Day guide for the exact date each year and more leave-stacking options.
