20 business days
April 2026 has 30 calendar days in Australia. Of these, 20 are business days — Monday to Friday that are not national public holidays — while 8 are weekend days and 2 national public holiday dates fall on a weekday and are deducted.
The deducted days are: Good Friday (03 Apr); Easter Monday (06 Apr). If days observed only in part of the country, or only in particular sectors, are also excluded, the count falls to 19.

Start with every date in April 2026, keep the Mondays to Fridays, then remove the dates marked “Yes” in the holiday table above. The number you get is the one shown at the top of this page: 20. Dates marked “Regional or sector-specific only” are observed in part of Australia or in certain industries, so they are listed for reference but not deducted.
