Spring begins on 1 September, and by 13 September 2028 warmer days return across the southern states after the winter months. The AFL finals series runs through September, ahead of the Grand Final that follows in late September or early October, drawing national attention as one of the biggest fixtures on the Australian sporting calendar.
Wednesday 13 September 2028 sits at the midpoint of the standard working week, between Monday's start and Friday's finish. Australians commonly call this point in the week hump day, marking the transition from the first half of the working week to the second, with two working days already complete and two still remaining before the weekend begins.
Contracts and legal deadlines that specify calendar days count every day from 13 September 2028 including weekends and public holidays, while deadlines specified in working or business days count only the days this page includes in its working-day total. The difference between the two conventions can shift a deadline by several days once weekends and holidays are counted.
