Countdown to ANZAC Day on 25 April.
ANZAC Day is observed on 25 April each year in Australia and New Zealand.
No. Public-holiday substitution rules differ by jurisdiction, so check the relevant government calendar for the state, territory or country that applies to you.
The tool counts down to the next 25 April using the date and time reported by your device. Once ANZAC Day has passed for the current year, the target automatically moves to 25 April of the following year. The large figure shows complete days remaining, with hours, minutes and seconds underneath for a more precise live countdown.
The countdown can help when you are arranging transport to a dawn service, checking how much time remains to organise a community commemoration, planning travel, preparing school material or coordinating volunteers. It is a practical date tool, not an attempt to turn ANZAC Day itself into a generic promotional event. The day commemorates Australians and New Zealanders who served and died in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.
ANZAC Day is a public holiday in Australia and New Zealand, but the rules around additional or substitute days can differ. In Australia, states and territories can apply different arrangements when 25 April falls on a weekend. Trading restrictions can also vary. If leave, penalty rates, opening hours or travel bookings depend on the holiday status, confirm the current rule with the relevant government authority rather than relying on this countdown alone.
If a wreath order, venue booking, school notice or travel plan must be organised a certain number of days beforehand, use the Date Calculator to subtract that lead time from 25 April. If you simply need the exact gap between two chosen dates, the Days Between Dates tool is better suited.
The countdown runs from your device's clock and targets the calendar date, not a particular dawn-service time. Service times differ by location and organiser, so check the local RSL, council, RSA or event organiser for the actual start time and access arrangements.
