The WA Police Union is keeping Members informed about important updates regarding Public Holiday entitlements for 2025 and 2026. These changes aim to ensure clarity, proper recognition of service, and a smoother process for Members.

For 2025, officers who work seven or more Public Holidays during the year will need to follow a self-notify process once it becomes available. 

This step ensures that Members who carry an extra workload across the year are correctly recorded and their service acknowledged.

Looking ahead to 2026, improvements are already underway. WA Police is updating HR systems with a target readiness date of 30 April 2026. The updated process aims to be more streamlined, reducing administrative effort while supporting Members’ entitlements.

The Union also reminds Members to continue following the refusal process and to lodge disputes under ADRP where appropriate. Taking these steps ensures that your entitlements and concerns are properly documented and addressed, helping to achieve the best possible outcome.
