Why Easter Dates Change Each Year

Easter is a moveable date, meaning it does not fall on the same calendar date every year. The date is based on the Christian ecclesiastical calendar, which is why Easter can occur in either March or April.

Because Easter dates change each year, it is important to check current official calendars before making travel, work or event plans.

Easter Public Holidays and Trading Hours

Public holiday rules and trading hours can vary across Australia. Some businesses may close or operate with reduced hours during the Easter long weekend, especially on Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

  • 🗓️ Check your state or territory public holiday calendar
  • 🗓️ Confirm workplace arrangements with your employer or award conditions
  • 🗓️ Check supermarket, bottle shop, venue and service trading hours locally
