These are the 12 NSW public holidays to add to your diary in 2026
If you want to make the most of your days off work, it pays off to plan ahead. These are the 2026 public holidays in NSW.
www.timeout.comHere 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]
