No. Easter Saturday 2026 — Saturday 4 April 2026 — is **not a public holiday uniformly across Australia**.

Its status depends on the **state or territory law applying to the employee’s place of work**. Easter Saturday is not a single national public holiday that applies automatically to every employee in Australia.

| Jurisdiction | Is Easter Saturday 2026 a public holiday? |
|---|---:|
| ACT | Yes |
| NSW | Yes |
| Northern Territory | Yes |
| Queensland | Yes |
| South Australia | Yes |
| Victoria | Yes |
| Tasmania | No, not as a statewide Easter Saturday public holiday |
| Western Australia | No |

So an employee’s answer turns on **where they work**, and on any applicable award, enterprise agreement, contract, or local/special public holiday rules. Do not treat Easter Saturday as having one national answer for all employees.
