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. 26 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.
Retail, hospitality, healthcare and emergency services rosters regularly schedule staff to work on Sundays as part of standard shift patterns that do not follow the Monday-to-Friday week. 26 April 2026 falls on Sunday, a working day for these shift-based industries even though it sits outside the standard working-day count above.
Contracts and legal deadlines that specify calendar days count every day from 26 April 2026 including weekends and public holidays, while deadlines specified in working or business days count only the days this page includes in its working-day total. The difference between the two conventions can shift a deadline by several days once weekends and holidays are counted.
