Daylight saving ends on the first Sunday of April in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT, putting the clocks back an hour. 20 April 2028 falls in the month where those five states move off daylight time, while Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory keep the same clock they have run all year without any change.
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 20 April 2028 falls on this day of the week, one working day ahead of Friday and two ahead of the weekend that follows it.
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 20 April. Interstate businesses need to check more than one state's list before setting a national deadline.
