There is no single national date for the Labour Day public holiday in Australia in 2026. Because public holidays are legislated at the state and territory level rather than the federal level, the date varies depending on where the employee is based:

*   **Western Australia:** Monday, 2 March 2026
*   **Victoria:** Monday, 9 March 2026
*   **Tasmania:** Monday, 9 March 2026
*   **Australian Capital Territory:** Monday, 5 October 2026
*   **New South Wales:** Monday, 5 October 2026
*   **South Australia:** Monday, 5 October 2026
*   **Queensland:** Monday, 5 October 2026
*   **Northern Territory:** Monday, 4 May 2026

Because the date is set differently across these jurisdictions, it is impossible to provide one confident national date. The specific date applicable to an employee is determined solely by the state or territory in which their workplace is located.
