Labour Day falls on the first Monday of March in Western Australia and on the second Monday of March in Victoria and Tasmania. New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, the Northern Territory and the ACT do not hold a Labour Day public holiday in March at all, so the long weekend applies only in the three states that observe it on these dates.
A public holiday landing on a Thursday sits one day short of the weekend, and workers commonly take the Friday after it as annual leave to turn a single day off into a four-day break. Thursday 30 March 2028 falls on this day of the week, one working day ahead of Friday and two ahead of the weekend that follows it.
The hours and minutes shown in the countdown to 30 March 2028 are calculated against the clock and time zone set on the device displaying this page, and the countdown reaches zero at midnight local to that device. Two people in different time zones will see slightly different figures at the exact same moment, each reflecting their own local midnight.
