April is the tenth month of the financial year that began the previous July, with 9 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.
Thursday sits one working day ahead of the weekend, making it the point in the week where plans for Friday, Saturday and Sunday commonly get finalised. 9 April 2026 falls on this day of the week, the second-to-last working day before the standard Monday-to-Friday week comes to a close and the weekend takes over.
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.
