Next year, Good Friday falls on Friday the 10th April.

Easter Saturday, Sunday and Monday follow on the 11th, 12th and 13th of April.

That means if you take four days’ annual leave from Tuesday the 14th of April until Friday the 17th, and factor in Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th of April as your holiday, you’ll end up with a well-earned 10-day break.

If you’re in Tasmania, Easter Tuesday is a public holiday, meaning you’ll only need to take three days’ annual leave.
