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. 24 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.
Traffic volumes, flight bookings and getaway trips peak on Friday afternoons across Australian cities as the working week ends. Friday 24 May 2030 falls on this day of the week, at the close of its standard five-day working stretch, marking the start of the weekend for the standard Monday-to-Friday workforce.
2030 has 365 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.
