New South Wales Public Holidays 2027

Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 25, 2026

New South Wales observes 13 public holidays in 2027: 10 fall on a weekday and 3 land on a weekend, leaving 251 working days across the year. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend, the same as the rest of Australia; what changes is the public holiday set.

How New South Wales differs from the national Australian holidays

New South Wales follows the national Australian public holidays and adds several of its own. It observes Easter Saturday and Easter Sunday around the Easter long weekend, gazettes an extra public holiday for Anzac Day on the following Monday when 25 April falls on a weekend, and takes Labour Day on the first Monday of October. The NSW Bank Holiday on the first Monday of August is a bank and financial-sector holiday rather than a general public holiday, so most non-bank workplaces stay open; this calculator counts it as a closure because it works on a bank-open-day basis. The King's Birthday stays on the national June date. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend, so it is the public holiday set, not the weekend, that changes the count.
