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. 11 October 2028 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 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 11 October 2028 falls on this day of the week, at the working week's midpoint, three working days deep into the week.
The working-day count on this page excludes both weekend days and any public holiday declared for the state selected, so the same date in 2028 can show a different total depending on which state's calendar applies to 11 October. Interstate businesses need to check more than one state's list before setting a national deadline.
