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. 4 October 2027 carries this public holiday in those three states, with every other state and territory working through an ordinary day.
A public holiday landing on a Monday produces a three-day weekend together with the preceding Saturday and Sunday, one of the two most common long-weekend patterns on the Australian calendar. Monday 4 October 2027 falls on this day of the week, at the start of a standard five-day working stretch that runs through to Friday of the same week.
The countdown to 4 October 2027 is measured from today's date and updates once every day, since the number of days, hours and minutes remaining changes continuously as the current date moves closer to it. Each visit to this page recalculates the figure fresh from the current moment, rather than storing a fixed number that would go stale over time.
