NSW public holidays in 2026 include the standard set plus an extra day in April. A commonly cited addition this year is Monday, 27 April 2026, as an Anzac Day-related public holiday in NSW, since Anzac Day falls on a Saturday in 2026.[1][2][5]
What this means for you:
- You’ll typically get the usual public holidays (New Year’s Day, Australia Day, Good Friday, Easter Saturday–Monday, Anzac Day, King’s Birthday, Labour Day, Bank Holiday, Christmas Day) as listed for NSW, with the noted April 27 holiday in 2026.[2][5]
- Local or regional variations may exist in some councils, so it’s worth checking if your local area has any additional or substitute holidays.[3]
If you want, I can pull the latest official NSW public-holiday calendar and local holiday notes for your exact suburb or council area and present a clean year-at-a-glance. Would you like that for your location in NYC or for a specific NSW region in Australia?
