Labour Day falls on the first Monday of October in New South Wales, South Australia and the ACT, the only three jurisdictions observing the holiday on this date. 19 October 2027 carries this public holiday in those three states, with every other state and territory working through an ordinary day.
Tuesday 19 October 2027 carries no recurring public holiday of its own outside the first Tuesday of November, when the Melbourne Cup applies in metropolitan Melbourne. On every other date, this day of the week runs as a standard working day across the country, counted fully in the working-day total above.
The working-day count on this page excludes both weekend days and any public holiday declared for the state selected, so the same date in 2027 can show a different total depending on which state's calendar applies to 19 October. Interstate businesses need to check more than one state's list before setting a national deadline.
