Term 1 school holidays fall across April in every state, timed to overlap with the Easter break. 28 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.
Friday 28 April 2028 is the last working day of the standard Monday-to-Friday week, the fifth and final working day before the weekend begins. A public holiday landing on this day of the week joins directly onto the Saturday and Sunday that follow it, forming a three-day weekend without using any annual leave.
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 28 April. Interstate businesses need to check more than one state's list before setting a national deadline.
