Ever wished you could have more time on holiday? Or that you didn't have to choose between a three-week Euro trip and a South America getaway?
With a bit of clever annual leave booking, you can maximise your days off and get 49 days or more of holiday time per year no matter which Australian state you live in.
It all comes down to careful planning around existing public holidays and long weekends. That and maxing out your 20 days of annual leave, which is the legal minimum for full-time employees in Australia.
Choose your state to see the complete guide to maximising your annual leave:
What we found:
- Western Australians, Victorians and those living in ACT are super lucky and can get the most days off per year.
- Those living in New South Wales and Queensland get the least.
- You can have a whopping 16-day holiday with only 8 days of annual leave across Australia over the Easter long weekend.
- All states offer enough time to go away at least 6 times in 2020.
