What is Labour Day?
This Labour Day entry applies to New South Wales, South Australia and the Australian Capital Territory. It is not a national date and excludes jurisdictions with their own Labour Day or May Day entries.
For the covered years, the three official lists align on the same October Monday, allowing one shared key with an explicit three-jurisdiction scope.
Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory remain outside this scope because their official calendars use other dates or names.
- Applies in:
- state/territory (New South Wales, South Australia, Australian Capital Territory)
