I. What This Means for Your Organisation
A. Schedules
In the Schedule Board, 2026 public holidays are now displayed for staff whose profiles indicate a State that observes the relevant holiday. These days will be highlighted with the canary green color code, making it easy to identify public holidays that apply to each staff member.
B. Quotes
New quotes for 2026 will automatically factor in public holidays, ensuring accurate pricing and service availability.
C. Invoice Output
When exporting invoices, rates for 2026 public holidays will be accurately reflected, ensuring correct billing for services provided on these dates.
II. Settings for Viewing Public Holidays
A. Ensure Public Holidays Are Displayed on the Schedule Board
Go to Settings > General Config > Public Holidays in Scheduling.
Make sure the checkbox labeled Override Staff Work Schedule for Public Holidays is unticked so that public holidays are displayed on the Schedule Board for staff.
B. Organization Public Holidays
Go to Settings > General Config > Organization Public Holidays.
This setting allows the organization to choose the time category that follows public holiday rules. The recommended default setting is Public Holidays. The time blocks you select here will impact how the Scheduling page displays and manages those dates.
C. Set Up the State Field for Staff
Go to the detailed profile section for the staff member.
Locate the State field and select the appropriate state for the staff member. Staff will only see public holidays that apply to the state selected in their profile.
D. Set Up the Work Schedule for Staff
Go to the staff member’s profile.
Navigate to the Work Availability section.
Create or update the work schedule for the staff member. For detailed instructions, see Set Up Staff Work Availability.

CareVision automatically applies public holiday rates for nationwide public holidays.
For regional public holidays, you need to manually create and apply the appropriate rates to bookings scheduled on those dates. For detailed instructions on how to manage regional public holidays, see the Handling Regional Public Holidays in Billing and Payroll documentation.
III. Next Steps
You may now draft quotes for clients with services extending into 2026. Public holidays will be accurately incorporated into all calculations.
