ANZAC Day falls on the fixed date of 25 April, marked nationwide with dawn services regardless of which day of the week it lands on. 22 April 2026 falls inside the same 30-day month, alongside Easter, which moves from year to year but falls within or close to April in most years across the Australian calendar.
Wednesday 22 April 2026 sits at the midpoint of the standard working week, between Monday's start and Friday's finish. Australians commonly call this point in the week hump day, marking the transition from the first half of the working week to the second, with two working days already complete and two still remaining before the weekend begins.
2026 has 365 days on the calendar. Leap years add a single extra day to February, giving those years 366 days instead of 365 and shifting the day-of-year number for every date from March onward by one compared with an ordinary year. This is the only irregularity in the length of the Australian calendar year.
