Daylight saving returns on the first Sunday of October in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT, putting the clocks forward an hour. 30 October 2028 falls in this month of change, while Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory keep the same clock they run all year, unaffected by the switch.
Monday 30 October 2028 is an ordinary working day for the standard Monday-to-Friday workforce and counts toward the working-day total shown above, along with the four days that follow it through to Friday, separate from the shift rosters that retail, hospitality, healthcare and emergency services run on their own patterns.
Contracts and legal deadlines that specify calendar days count every day from 30 October 2028 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.
