Term 1 school holidays fall across April in every state, timed to overlap with the Easter break. 25 April 2028 sits inside this national holiday window, one of the busiest stretches of family travel on the calendar outside the long January break at the start of 2028, filling roads, flights and caravan parks nationwide.
Tuesday 25 April 2028 carries no recurring public holiday of its own outside the first Tuesday of November, when the Melbourne Cup applies in metropolitan Melbourne. On every other date, this day of the week runs as a standard working day across the country, counted fully in the working-day total above.
2028 has 366 days on the calendar. Leap years add a single extra day to February, giving those years 366 days instead of 365 and shifting the day-of-year number for every date from March onward by one compared with an ordinary year. This is the only irregularity in the length of the Australian calendar year.
