What is Easter Saturday?
Easter Saturday is listed as a public holiday in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory. It is not marked Australia-wide because Western Australia and Tasmania use different Easter coverage.
The date is the Saturday immediately before Easter Sunday. Its regional scope is stored independently from Good Friday and Easter Monday rather than copied from the surrounding dates.
Users in Western Australia or Tasmania should follow their own jurisdiction page, because the absence of this entry from their official list is a material difference.
- Applies in:
- state/territory (New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Australian Capital Territory, Northern Territory)
Movable public holiday: the date depends on Easter (Good Friday and Easter Monday) and changes every year.
