www.nsw.gov.auHere are the latest NSW public holiday updates I can share.
- NSW added an extra public holiday in 2026 for Anzac Day when it falls on a weekend, resulting in a Monday holiday in 2026. This was announced by the NSW government and covered by local outlets in early 2026.[1][5]
- The 2026 NSW public holidays commonly include New Year’s Day, Australia Day (observed on a nearby weekday if the date falls on a weekend), Good Friday, Easter Saturday/Sunday/Monday, Anzac Day, King’s Birthday, Labour Day, a Bank Holiday, and Christmas-related holidays. For a precise list and dates, see NSW government pages and NSW-focused holiday calendars.[2][5][8]
- Regional and local public holidays may apply in addition to the state-wide holidays, depending on local declarations. If you’re planning events or business hours, check your local council or NSW Industrial Relations resources for any local holidays.[8][10]
