Labour Day falls on the first Monday of March in Western Australia and on the second Monday of March in Victoria and Tasmania. New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, the Northern Territory and the ACT do not hold a Labour Day public holiday in March at all, so the long weekend applies only in the three states that observe it on these dates.
A public holiday landing on a Wednesday sits in the middle of its working week rather than beside a weekend, so it does not create a long weekend on its own. Wednesday 24 March 2027 falls on this day of the week, at the working week's midpoint, three working days deep into the week.
The hours and minutes shown in the countdown to 24 March 2027 are calculated against the clock and time zone set on the device displaying this page, and the countdown reaches zero at midnight local to that device. Two people in different time zones will see slightly different figures at the exact same moment, each reflecting their own local midnight.
