An extra public holiday could be introduced for NSW residents this year, according to Premier Chris Minns. Minns indicated he wanted to introduce the holiday because Anzac Day falls on a weekend in both 2026 and 2027. “I think most people have got a lot of reverence for Anzac Day,” he said. He also noted Anzac Day should always be commemorated on April 25 and that an extra public holiday on a following Monday should not “detract” from that. Victorians have 14 public holidays, WA and Tasmania have 13, ACT and Queensland have 14, and SA and the NT celebrate the most with 15.
