If you didn't get quite enough down time over the festive season, don't fret. Victoria's next public holiday will roll around before you know it, and you'll be able to kick back with an extra ten days off work this year. With the days that public holiday dates fall on for 2024, we get a lovely five long weekends, and if you chuck in an annual leave day here and there you could gain three more. We recommend planning some weekend getaways to look forward to, stat. Or if you're dying for a longer break, here's how you can strategically use your annual leave to maximise your time off this year.
