January sits at the midpoint of the financial year that began on 1 July and runs to 30 June. 24 January 2027 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 2027, which runs from January to March under the standard quarter system used on this page.
A public holiday that falls on a Sunday sits inside the weekend rather than beside it, and whether a substitute day off applies to the following Monday depends on the specific holiday and the state. Sunday 24 January 2027 falls on this day of the week, at the close of the weekend, immediately before the working week resumes.
Contracts and legal deadlines that specify calendar days count every day from 24 January 2027 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.
