NEW SOUTH WALES

Good Friday is a restricted shop trading day in NSW, but unlike last year Easter Sunday is not. This means that most major stores will be closed this Friday and open Saturday, Sunday and Monday, including liquor stores.

ACT

There are no trading restrictions for Canberra over the long weekend, except for liquor stores on Good Friday.

VICTORIA AND QUEENSLAND

Good Friday is a restricted trading day while Saturday, Sunday and Monday are not. Most major traders, and all bottle shops, will be closed the Friday and open for the rest of the weekend.

Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Monday are all public holidays in the Northern Territory. Retail trading hours are not restricted however, and businesses can open when they like, but most stores choose to close on Good Friday.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA

South Australians will have three public holidays this Easter: Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Monday.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Western Australia has Good Friday and Easter Monday as public holidays. General retail shops in WA must remain closed on Good Friday.

TASMANIA

Tasmania has three public holidays for Easter, and it’s the only state with a public holiday on the Tuesday after Easter. Trading hours are generally unrestricted in Tasmania so you may find most stores are open all days except Friday.
