- Australian Capital Territory
- New South Wales

### What an employee’s answer turns on
Whether Easter Saturday is a public holiday for any given employee depends on:
- the state or territory in which the employee is based / performs work (or the relevant location for public-holiday purposes); and
- the applicable modern award, enterprise agreement or contract (which may contain substitution or additional holiday clauses, though these do not override the underlying jurisdictional declaration for the purpose of the National Employment Standards public-holiday entitlement).

There is no single Australia-wide answer that applies to every employee.
