Here are the latest notes on NSW public holidays:
-
NSW announced an extra public holiday for Anzac Day in 2026, resulting in a day off on Monday 27 April 2026 in addition to the Anzac Day public holiday on Saturday 25 April 2026. This was officially confirmed by the NSW government, expanding the usual holiday lineup for that year.[1][4]
-
The standard NSW public holidays for 2026 include New Year’s Day, Australia Day, Good Friday, Easter Saturday to Easter Monday, ANZAC Day, King’s Birthday, Bank Holiday, Labour Day, and Christmas Day, with the exact dates listed for statewide observance.[4]
-
Local public holidays can also apply in specific NSW regions or councils, in addition to the statewide schedule, so some areas may observe additional or regional holidays beyond the state-wide list.[5][10]
If you’d like, I can compile a precise date table for NSW 2026 (including the Anzac Day extra) and flag any regional/local holidays that might affect your area. I can also check for changes or additions to 2027 if you need that as well.
