Daylight saving remains in effect throughout March in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT, with the clocks not going back until the first Sunday of April. 28 March 2026 still runs on daylight time in those five jurisdictions, one of the last full months of extended evening light before the shift into shorter winter days.
Sport fixtures, markets and family events across Australia are concentrated on Saturdays more than any other day of the week. 28 March 2026 falls on Saturday, outside the standard working-day count used on this page, between the working week that ends on Friday and the one that begins the following Monday.
Contracts and legal deadlines that specify calendar days count every day from 28 March 2026 including weekends and public holidays, while deadlines specified in working or business days count only the days this page includes in its working-day total. The difference between the two conventions can shift a deadline by several days once weekends and holidays are counted.
