Some public holidays in Victoria are considered restricted trading days and only certain businesses can operate.
Under Victorian law there are two-and-a-half restricted trading days each year:
- Good Friday
- Christmas Day
- Anzac Day between 12:01am and 1:00pm
On these days, only exempt shops are permitted to open. Visit the Business Victoria website to see if you can open on restricted trading days.
Businesses such as restaurants, cafes, bars, clubs and bottle shops might have more restrictions regarding late-night trading and supplying alcohol on restricted trading days. Check with Liquor Control Victoria for more information.
