WA workers can get 71 days off in 2027 with strategic leave bookings
Book your 31 annual leave days strategically around public holidays and get 71 days off in 2027.
The trick is timing. By booking 31 days of annual leave around Western Australia's public holidays and weekends in 2027, workers can score 71 days away.
Australia Day in January offers a nine-day break. Easter provides 10 consecutive days off.
Anzac Day adds another nine days. Christmas and New Year deliver the biggest prize: a 16-day stretch from December 25 to January 9.
Smaller breaks cluster around Labour Day, WA Day, and the King's Birthday. Western Australia and the Northern Territory lead the country: workers there get the most days off for the fewest leave days used.
Queensland workers could get 67 days, while Victorians and Tasmanians fare worse with 60 and 56 days respectively.
- 16 days from December 25 to January 9
- Longest break
- 67 days off with same 31 leave days
- Queensland comparison
- 56 days off with 31 leave days
- Tasmania lowest
Why it mattersMost Australian workers crave longer breaks to travel or recharge, and turning 31 leave days into 71 off nearly doubles the benefit.
AustraliaWA workers have a major advantage: their unique public holidays like WA Day and the Anzac Monday observance create more stretching opportunities than other states.
