Daylight saving remains in effect throughout March in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT, with the clocks not going back until the first Sunday of April. 26 March 2028 still runs on daylight time in those five jurisdictions, one of the last full months of extended evening light before the shift into shorter winter days.
Any deadline or bill payment due on Sunday 26 March 2028 moves to the following Monday under standard business-day rules, since Sunday sits outside the working week this page counts by default. This convention applies consistently across contracts, invoices and statutory deadlines throughout Australia, regardless of which state or territory is involved.
A public holiday that falls on a Monday or a Friday produces a three-day weekend without using any annual leave, which is why long-weekend planning around 26 March 2028 depends on which day of the week the nearest public holiday falls on. A midweek holiday delivers no such automatic extension, though many workers bridge it with a single day of leave.
