Here’s a concise update on public holidays in Tasmania for 2026.
-
The major statewide public holidays in 2026 are:
- New Year’s Day: Thursday, 1 January
- Australia Day: Monday, 26 January
- Eight Hours Day: Monday, 9 March
- Good Friday: Friday, 3 April
- Easter Monday: Monday, 6 April
- Easter Tuesday: Tuesday, 7 April (often a Tasmanian Public Service-specific holiday)
- ANZAC Day: Saturday, 25 April
- King’s Birthday: Monday, 8 June
- Christmas Eve: Thursday, 24 December (evening)
- Christmas Day: Friday, 25 December
-
There are numerous regional holidays scheduled across different municipalities in 2026, such as AGFEST and various show days in places like Circular Head, King Island, Burnie, and Royal Launceston Show dates. These are regional and not statewide, so eligibility and entitlements may vary by region and award.
If you’d like, I can compile a region-by-region list (e.g., statewide vs. regional) or prepare a simple calendar you can import into a calendar app. I can also note which holidays typically count as paid days off under common Tasmanian awards and which are subject to substitution when they fall on weekends.
Would you like a detailed table of statewide vs. regional holidays or a ready-to-import calendar file?
