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. 22 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.
Saturday 22 April 2028 is a weekend day under the standard Monday-to-Friday working pattern and does not count toward the working-day total shown above. Retail, hospitality, healthcare and emergency services staff commonly work rostered shifts on this day regardless of the standard week that applies to most other industries and workplaces across the country.
The week number shown for 22 April 2028 counts full weeks from the start of 2028, a figure used in payroll cycles, rostering and any planning done in weekly or fortnightly blocks rather than by calendar month. Businesses running fortnightly pay runs rely on this figure to track which of the two alternating pay weeks a date falls in.
