How many RDOs are there in SA in 2026?

The CEPU SA contracting industry calendar 2026 lists 27 rostered days off. Your own entitlement depends on your enterprise agreement or award, so check with your employer.

Where does this SA RDO calendar come from?

The dates are read from the CEPU SA contracting industry calendar 2026, published by CEPU South Australia, through DataQuoll. Public holidays are checked against the Fair Work Ombudsman list. The original calendar is linked on this page.

Does my RDO move if it falls on a public holiday?

Union calendars are drawn up around the public holidays, so the listed RDOs already avoid them. If your site works a different roster, your employer or agreement decides when a displaced RDO is taken.
