Don't get caught out these holidays.

When a holiday moves every year, it can be hard to keep up with. The Easter long weekend is a great time to get together with family and friends (or to put in some extra rates at work) but before you fire up the group chat or book your weekend away, these are the Easter public holidays across Australia.

When is Easter 2024?
