**No. Easter Saturday is not a public holiday for all employees across Australia.**

Its status is **not uniform nationally**. Whether Saturday 4 April 2026 (the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter Sunday) is a public holiday depends on the state or territory jurisdiction that applies to the employee’s employment.

- It **is** a declared public holiday in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory.
- It is **not** a public holiday in Western Australia.

An employee’s entitlement therefore turns on the public-holiday laws of the relevant jurisdiction (and any applicable modern award, enterprise agreement or contract that incorporates those laws). There is no single national answer that applies to every employee.
