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. 31 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.
Traffic volumes, flight bookings and getaway trips peak on Friday afternoons across Australian cities as the working week ends. Friday 31 March 2028 falls on this day of the week, at the close of its standard five-day working stretch, marking the start of the weekend for the standard Monday-to-Friday workforce.
The countdown to 31 March 2028 is measured from today's date and updates once every day, since the number of days, hours and minutes remaining changes continuously as the current date moves closer to it. Each visit to this page recalculates the figure fresh from the current moment, rather than storing a fixed number that would go stale over time.
