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. 24 October 2028 carries this public holiday in those three states, with every other state and territory working through an ordinary day.
Tuesday 24 October 2028 carries no recurring public holiday of its own outside the first Tuesday of November, when the Melbourne Cup applies in metropolitan Melbourne. On every other date, this day of the week runs as a standard working day across the country, counted fully in the working-day total above.
2028 has 366 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.
