Anzac Day 2026 is **Saturday 25 April 2026**.

There is **not one single Australia-wide, federally created substitute Monday** that automatically applies to every employee. The relevant public holiday is determined by the **state/territory public-holiday law** that applies to the employee’s workplace, and any **award or enterprise agreement** that adds to those rights.

So the right answer is:

- **Do not treat Monday 27 April 2026 as a uniform national entitlement for everyone.**
- Whether an employee gets that Monday off, or public-holiday pay/penalty rates for it, **turns on the jurisdiction in which they work** (their usual place of work / the state or territory governing their employment), plus any applicable industrial instrument.

In short: **check the local state/territory holiday calendar first; don’t assume one national substitute Monday for all Australian employees.**
