What to know about New South Wales's 2027 holidays
The working week here is Monday to Friday, with Saturday and Sunday off.
Australia’s states set their own holidays, so this calendar is New South Wales. New Year’s Day, Australia Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Anzac Day, Christmas and Boxing Day were the same in every state list we could read, and so were the additional days of 27 and 28 December.
The others differ: Labour Day is 1 March in Western Australia, 3 May in Queensland and 4 October in NSW and South Australia; the King’s Birthday is 14 June in NSW and South Australia, 27 September in Western Australia and 4 October in Queensland.
