About this countdown
This countdown targets Easter Sunday on Sunday, March 28, 2027, set by the rule: Easter Sunday. It runs on your device's clock and counts to midnight at the start of the day.
Easter Sunday is a state/territory holiday, so the date matters for more than the celebration — government offices close and many employers follow suit. Easter Sunday is a public holiday in six of Australia's eight states and territories, a recent change led by New South Wales in 2011. Western Australia and Tasmania are the holduots. The declaration mainly guarantees penalty rates for Sunday workers.
