January sits at the midpoint of the financial year that began on 1 July and runs to 30 June. 29 January 2026 falls in the second half of that financial year, five months out from the EOFY close in June, and inside the first calendar quarter of 2026, which runs from January to March under the standard quarter system used on this page.
Workplaces commonly schedule their heaviest meeting load on Thursday, leaving Friday clearer for closing out the week's remaining work. 29 January 2026 falls on this day, the fourth working day of its standard Monday-to-Friday week, with one working day remaining before the weekend begins and the count above resets for Monday.
2026 has 365 days on the calendar. Leap years add a single extra day to February, giving those years 366 days instead of 365 and shifting the day-of-year number for every date from March onward by one compared with an ordinary year. This is the only irregularity in the length of the Australian calendar year.
