The winter solstice falls in the third week of June every year, the shortest day and longest night on the Australian calendar. 25 June 2027 sits close to this turning point, after which daylight hours slowly lengthen again toward summer, even though winter continues for two more months, through July and August.
Friday 25 June 2027 is the last working day of the standard Monday-to-Friday week, the fifth and final working day before the weekend begins. A public holiday landing on this day of the week joins directly onto the Saturday and Sunday that follow it, forming a three-day weekend without using any annual leave.
Contracts and legal deadlines that specify calendar days count every day from 25 June 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.
