However, the key to maximising your annual leave is by being across all the public holidays in your state, and taking some carefully-placed annual leave days either side of them.

We’ve got the run down here.

New Years Day, Wednesday 1st January

Just take January 2 and 3 as annual leave and you’ll run right into the weekend. 5 sweet days of freedom!

Australia Day, Sunday 26th January

As the public holiday falls on a Sunday, Monday will be a public holiday in lieu. Take the 28th to the 31st on annual leave, and you’ll have time off from Saturday January 25 to Sunday February 2.
