There is **no single national Labour Day date in Australia in 2026**. The public holiday is set differently by state or territory, so the applicable date depends on **where the employee works**:

- **Western Australia:** Monday 2 March 2026  
- **Victoria:** Monday 9 March 2026  
- **Queensland:** Monday 4 May 2026  
- **Northern Territory:** Monday 4 May 2026 (**May Day**)  
- **Australian Capital Territory:** Monday 5 October 2026  
- **New South Wales:** Monday 5 October 2026  
- **South Australia:** Monday 5 October 2026  
- **Tasmania:** Monday 12 October 2026  

Therefore, a single confident national date would be wrong.
