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. 9 October 2028 carries this public holiday in those three states, with every other state and territory working through an ordinary day.
Monday 9 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.
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.
