Labour Day falls on the first Monday of May in Queensland and the Northern Territory, the only two jurisdictions that mark the holiday on this date. 17 May 2030 falls inside May in every other state and territory without any public holiday attached to it at all, running as an entirely ordinary working month in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and the ACT.
Friday 17 May 2030 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 2030 can show a different total depending on which state's calendar applies to 17 May. Interstate businesses need to check more than one state's list before setting a national deadline.
