No Tuesday 30 March 2027 is not a public holiday anywhere in Australia, although Easter Tuesday is a restricted holiday in TAS. The nearest public holidays are Easter Monday on Mon 29 Mar (every state and territory), and Anzac Day on Sun 25 Apr (VIC, NSW, WA and TAS).

Public holidays are set state by state, so the same date can be a day off in one state and a normal Monday in the next. Here is what 30 March looks like in every published year.

  1. Sunday 30 March 2025 Working day

    No public holiday in any state or territory.

  3. Tuesday 30 March 2027 Partial only

    • Easter Tuesday restricted
      TAS
      Tasmanian public service only

    A restricted holiday applies only to the group named, so for most people this is an ordinary working day.

The holidays that fall on 30 March

  • Easter

    Easter is the only major public holiday whose date moves every year. Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after 21 March, using the church tables rather than the astronomical moon, which puts it anywhere between 22 March and 25 April. Good Friday is two days before, Easter Monday the day after, and everything else in the Easter block is anchored to that Sunday. Early and late Easters behave differently on the calendar. A late Easter (mid to late April) can sit within a week or two of Anzac Day, which is when the famous Easter and Anzac double becomes possible: a handful of leave days bridging the two can produce a break of ten days or more. An early Easter in March sits on its own.

March in the public holiday calendar

March is when the state calendars start to diverge. Western Australia takes Labour Day on the first Monday; Victoria and Tasmania take theirs on the second Monday, the same day as Canberra Day in the ACT and Adelaide Cup Day in South Australia. New South Wales, Queensland and the Northern Territory have nothing in March at all. When Easter falls early, Good Friday can land in the last week of the month. That mix is why a March date is often a holiday in four jurisdictions and a working day in the other four.
