What is the typical work week in Australia?

In Australia, the standard full-time work week is 38 hours and is usually spread over five days. The most common pattern is to work from Monday to Friday, with weekends off. However, some occupations, such as healthcare and hospitality, may have different working hours.

In general, overtime is paid for any work hours beyond the standard 38-hour work week, and public holidays are observed and generally paid for.
