It’s a great day to be living NSW-side, because the State Government is considering implementing an extra public holiday to create an Anzac Day long weekend from 2026. “I’m thinking about it,” the premier wrote in an Instagram post featuring a Daily Mail headline that reads “New South Wales could soon get a new public holiday”. “It’s got to be the 25 that’s hugely important.”Is ANZAC Day a public holiday in 2026? However, for Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Northern Territory, and Tasmania, Anzac Day will be observed on the Saturday. NSW has two extra public holidays, including the King’s Birthday, which falls on June 8, 2026, and Labour Day, which falls on October 5 this year.
