Cyclone activity across northern Australia continues through February, part of a season that runs from November to April, while bushfire risk in the south stays at its summer peak. 25 February 2029 sits inside both seasonal windows, two months before daylight saving ends in the south-eastern states and autumn officially begins across the country on 1 March.
Retail, hospitality, healthcare and emergency services rosters regularly schedule staff to work on Sundays as part of standard shift patterns that do not follow the Monday-to-Friday week. 25 February 2029 falls on Sunday, a working day for these shift-based industries even though it sits outside the standard working-day count above.
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 2029 can show a different total depending on which state's calendar applies to 25 February. Interstate businesses need to check more than one state's list before setting a national deadline.
