No, Easter Saturday 2026 is not a public holiday uniformly across Australia for all employees.

Its status changes between jurisdictions and is not uniform nationally. It is a public holiday in New South Wales and Queensland. It is not a public holiday in Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory or the Northern Territory.

An employee's answer turns on the state or territory in which they work, as public holidays are declared by each state and territory government (with the NES for national system employees adopting those declarations). There is no single national rule that applies to everyone.
