This Anzac Day falls on a Saturday – and these states will be getting an extra public holiday (theconversation.com)

ANZAC Day is commemorated on 25 April each year as a tribute to more than 2 million Australians who’ve served in war and peacekeeping operations.

That date is always the same. But how it’s marked as a public holiday varies between states and territories when it falls on a weekend, as it does this year.

Some Australians will get an extra day off as a result, while millions of others won’t.

That can be confusing for employees, and creates a rostering headache for employers operating across states and territories, such as in hospitality, retail, health, transport and other essential services.

Whether you’re an employee or an employer, here’s what you need to know about workers’ rights to paid time off.

Lazy op, not posting the actual relevant information.

A bonus day: New South Wales, Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory all have a public holiday on April 25 2026. But they’ve also declared an additional public holiday on Monday April 27. If you’re rostered to work on that Saturday or Monday, both of those days count as public holidays in NSW, WA and the ACT.

Just one day: Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory will only observe Anzac Day on Saturday April 25. If you work in a Monday-Friday job, unfortunately this means you won’t get an Anzac Day holiday this year.

If you mean me, not lazy at all. I bothered to put up the post. Perhaps you're lazy not wanting to read the article. Btw, where are your posts?

I thought most people would already know whether their state has a pub hol or not but the issues relating to work issues were the really important bit.
