About Business Days in Australia

In Australia, business days (also known as working days or workdays) are the days when most businesses, government offices, and financial institutions operate. The standard work week in Australia runs from Monday to Friday, with Saturday and Sunday as the weekend.

  2. Select your dates: Pick your start and end dates (or a start date and number of days).
  3. Country is pre-selected: Australia is already selected, so all Australia public holidays will be excluded automatically.
