April is the tenth month of the financial year that began the previous July, with 24 April 2026 falling two months out from the 30 June close. It also sits in the second calendar quarter of 2026, the quarter that runs from April to June under the standard January-to-December quarter system used on this page.
Friday 24 April 2026 is the last working day of the standard Monday-to-Friday week, the fifth and final working day before the weekend begins. A public holiday landing on this day of the week joins directly onto the Saturday and Sunday that follow it, forming a three-day weekend without using any annual leave.
The week number shown for 24 April 2026 counts full weeks from the start of 2026, a figure used in payroll cycles, rostering and any planning done in weekly or fortnightly blocks rather than by calendar month. Businesses running fortnightly pay runs rely on this figure to track which of the two alternating pay weeks a date falls in.
