Who gets a long weekend in September 2027
Three days or more in a row without a working day in the middle, worked out from each state and territory's published dates rather than assumed from the holiday's name.
| Where | Dates, and why | Days |
|---|---|---|
| WA | Sat 25 Sep – Mon 27 Sep King's Birthday | 3 |
No statewide September long weekend in: NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, TAS, ACT, NT. Those are ordinary working weeks there.
One September 2028 long weekend has no date yet
VIC — Friday before the AFL Grand Final, 2028
No 2028 Grand Final date had been announced when this was checked on 30 September 2026. It fell in September in 2026 and in October in 2027, so neither month can be ruled out.
Until it is set, September 2028 can be answered for every other jurisdiction that has published 2028 but not for VIC: if the Friday lands this month, it makes a long weekend there that no list can show yet. Why, and what Victoria's own list says, is on VIC public holidays.
September 2028
No state or territory that has published 2028 has a statewide long weekend in September 2028. NSW and WA have not published 2028 yet.
Every state's dates side by side: the King’s Birthday.
How these are worked out
Three or more days in a row with no working day in the middle, worked out from each state and territory's published dates — so a public holiday landing on a Saturday does not make one by itself, and September's answer differs by state because the underlying Acts do. How a long weekend is counted here, including what happens to part-days and district holidays.
