No, the additional Monday public holiday does not apply uniformly across Australia.

When Anzac Day falls on a Saturday (as it does on 25 April 2026), most Australian states and territories provide an additional public holiday on the following Monday. However, Tasmania is the significant exception.

**States and territories WITH a substitute Monday (27 April 2026):**
- New South Wales
- Victoria
- Queensland
- South Australia
- Western Australia
- Northern Territory
- Australian Capital Territory
- Commonwealth public sector employees

**State WITHOUT a substitute Monday:**
- Tasmania - When Anzac Day falls on a Saturday, Anzac Day is observed on the Saturday itself. There is no additional public holiday on the following Monday. Tasmanian employees do not receive an extra day off.

**What an employee's answer turns on:**
1. The state or territory in which they work (critical distinction: Tasmania vs all others)
2. Whether they are employed in the Commonwealth public sector (entitled to substitute Monday)
3. Their specific employment contract or award, which may provide different or more generous entitlements

The correct answer to the payroll officer is: No, this is not uniform across Australia. All states and territories except Tasmania observe an additional public holiday on Monday 27 April 2026. Tasmanian employees receive no substitute day.
