What is Easter Sunday?
Easter Sunday is listed as a public holiday in NSW, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory. Tasmania is not included in this entry's official scope.
The date is the Easter Sunday calculated for the selected year. The calendar does not assume that every Sunday is a separately named public holiday in every jurisdiction.
Tasmania's distinct Easter Tuesday provision is retained on its own page, making the jurisdictional difference visible instead of forcing a national template.
- Applies in:
- state/territory (New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Australian Capital Territory, Northern Territory)
Movable public holiday: the date depends on Easter (Good Friday and Easter Monday) and changes every year.
