2028 is a leap year, with an extra day added to February and 366 days on the calendar rather than the usual 365. The year opens on a Saturday, so New Year's Day itself does not cost anyone a working day, though it does mean the first Monday back is 3 January. Australia Day falls on a Wednesday, 26 January, sitting mid-week rather than anchoring a long weekend, which leaves the summer school holidays as the main drawcard for January travel while the Australian Open plays out in Melbourne.

February carries the leap day this year, with 29 February falling on a Tuesday and giving the shortest month one extra day before autumn begins in March. Easter falls comparatively late, with Good Friday on 14 April and Easter Monday on 17 April, and ANZAC Day follows just over a week later on Tuesday 25 April, close enough to Easter that some workers stack leave across both to stretch out the school holiday break. Daylight saving ends on 2 April, the Sunday before the Easter long weekend begins, so clocks go back just ahead of the holiday.

King's Birthday lands on 12 June for the states that mark it on the second Monday, giving winter its usual mid-year break as the ski fields open across the Snowy Mountains and Victorian Alps. The financial year still runs to 30 June regardless of the leap day added earlier in the year, and the new tax year opens on 1 July as always, with the self-lodgement deadline falling on 31 October. Spring brings the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday 7 November, one of the latest dates the race can fall on, capping off a spring racing carnival that runs deeper into November than usual.

Christmas Day falls on a Monday and Boxing Day on a Tuesday, which strings together the preceding weekend with both public holidays for a four-day break to close out the year. Remembrance Day on 11 November falls on a Saturday, so the 11am silence lands outside the working week for most people. With the extra day added by the leap year, 2028 has 366 days on the calendar rather than the usual 365, one more working day for employers to account for when comparing annual totals against the years either side of it.
