**No.** There is no extra substitute public holiday on the Monday following Anzac Day (Saturday 25 April 2026) that applies to all employees across Australia.

Public holidays (including any substitute or additional days) are determined by the laws of each state and territory, not by a single national rule. Under the National Employment Standards, an employee is entitled to a day that is a public holiday under the law of the state or territory in which they are based / the work is performed (or a day substituted by an applicable modern award, enterprise agreement or employment contract).

Consequently:
- An additional Monday public holiday is **not** a uniform national entitlement.
- Whether Monday 27 April 2026 is a public holiday turns on the specific public-holiday legislation (and any gazettal) of the particular jurisdiction in which the employee works, together with the terms of any applicable industrial instrument or contract that may designate additional or substitute days.
- Some jurisdictions treat the Saturday itself as the sole Anzac Day public holiday and do not declare the following Monday; others may provide an additional or substitute Monday in defined circumstances. The position is therefore jurisdiction-specific and must be checked for each employee’s location rather than assumed nationally.

Payroll must therefore determine the relevant state/territory rules (and any instrument) for each employee; a blanket “yes for everyone” approach is incorrect.
