Public holidays for Anzac Day are different in some states and territories in 2026. Find your dates and where to go for information on workplace
www.miragenews.comShort answer: Yes. Anzac Day is a public holiday in 2026 across all Australian states and territories, with some jurisdictions granting an additional day off on the Monday after Anzac Day because the date falls on a weekend.
Key details you might find helpful:
- Date in 2026: Saturday, 25 April. In most states and territories, the public holiday is observed on the 25th itself.
- Extra holiday in some regions: Because Anzac Day falls on a Saturday in 2026, several jurisdictions (notably New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, and Western Australia) designate an extra public holiday on Monday, 27 April 2026, to extend the long weekend. This aligns with policy in those areas for weekend Anzac Day observances [examples and confirmation from official and mainstream outlets indicate this pattern for 2026].[1][3][4][5]
- Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, and the Northern Territory typically observe only the Saturday date (25 April) and do not schedule a separate Monday substitute holiday in 2026.[5]
What this means for you in Miami, FL (your location): Anzac Day is an Australian observance and does not affect U.S. public holidays. If you’re coordinating travel or communications with Australia, expect a long weekend in many parts of the country, especially NSW, ACT, and WA, with the extra Monday holiday on 27 April 2026 in those jurisdictions.[3][1][5]
