Long-weekend & bridge-day planner

Explore potential 4–9 day breaks by using a small number of annual leave days around weekends and public holidays.

This is a planning aid, not a guarantee of employer-approved leave or substitute holidays.

Choose a year and leave allowance, then select “Find possible breaks”.

How to use the planner

  1. Choose the year you want to plan.
  2. Set the number of annual leave days you can use.
  3. Review the suggested continuous breaks.
  4. Open each holiday page for background and date details.

The calculator assumes a Monday–Friday workweek. Your employer’s policy and officially declared dates take precedence.

Know the meaning behind the dates

Every holiday page explains its historical context and common ways people observe the day.

Plan ahead

Each page shows the next occurrence and the expected date and weekday for the following two years.

Dates can change by notice

Some holidays move annually, and the Government may announce additional or substitute holidays. Verify dates against official notices before relying on them.
