**Labour Day public holiday in 2026**

There is no single national date for the Labour Day public holiday in Australia. The holiday is not uniformly observed across the country; each state and territory sets its own date. Therefore the answer depends on where the employee works, and a single confident national date would be wrong.

The date is set differently in different parts of the country (for example, the first Monday in October in NSW, the second Monday in March in Victoria, and the first Monday in May in Queensland). Please provide the relevant jurisdiction so the exact 2026 date applicable to that employee can be confirmed.
