As an Australian, every day of our existence is basically a large holiday. But officially, 20 paid days per annum, accruing each pay period (fortnight or monthly).
Usually get an additional 5 days per year sick leave (paid). Long service leave kicks in at 10 year mark with one employer, and you typically get 3 months paid leave at that point. Some companies might also include family/compassionate leave in the sick leave figure (ie you can take your sick day if your child is sick). Some employers might allow wage averaging, giving you 6 weeks paid leave per year, but deducting 2 weeks pay from you and then averaging out the left (ie, you are trading wages for more leave).
