The Australian Open finishes in Melbourne in the first half of February, and the domestic cricket season moves into its finals across the same weeks. 25 February 2028 sits inside this stretch of the national sporting calendar, in the final weeks of summer before autumn begins the following month across the southern states, while the tropical north remains firmly inside its wet season.
A public holiday on a Friday pairs directly with the Saturday and Sunday that follow it, producing one of the two most common three-day-weekend patterns on the Australian calendar. Friday 25 February 2028 falls on this day of the week, the last working day of its standard Monday-to-Friday week before the weekend begins.
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 25 February. Interstate businesses need to check more than one state's list before setting a national deadline.
