NAIDOC Week is held in the first full week of July, a nationally recognised observance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, culture and achievements. 16 July 2027 falls inside the same 31-day month as this observance, marked in workplaces, schools and communities across the country with events and ceremonies throughout the week.
Friday 16 July 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.
2027 has 365 days on the calendar. Leap years add a single extra day to February, giving those years 366 days instead of 365 and shifting the day-of-year number for every date from March onward by one compared with an ordinary year. This is the only irregularity in the length of the Australian calendar year.
