## Anzac Day 2026

No. Anzac Day is Saturday, 25 April 2026, but Monday, 27 April 2026 is **not** a uniform national substitute public holiday.

| Jurisdiction | Monday 27 April 2026 |
|---|---|
| Australian Capital Territory | **Public holiday** |
| Western Australia | **Public holiday** |
| New South Wales | Not an Anzac Day public holiday |
| Northern Territory | Not an Anzac Day public holiday |
| Queensland | Not an Anzac Day public holiday |
| South Australia | Not an Anzac Day public holiday |
| Tasmania | Not an Anzac Day public holiday |
| Victoria | Not an Anzac Day public holiday |

Thus, for this Saturday occurrence, the additional Monday applies generally only in the **ACT and Western Australia**. Some jurisdictions have different rules when Anzac Day falls on a Sunday, but those rules do not create a Monday holiday in 2026.

Under the National Employment Standards, the relevant statutory public holidays are generally those in the place where the employee is **based for work purposes**. The answer therefore turns on that location—not simply the employer’s head-office or payroll location—and on any applicable award, enterprise agreement, contract, policy or agreed substitution arrangement. Such an arrangement may provide another day off elsewhere, but it does not make Monday 27 April a public holiday for every employee in Australia.
