About the New South Wales Bank Holiday

The NSW Bank Holiday is held on the first Monday in August each year. This holiday is exclusive to New South Wales. It is not a typical statewide public holiday as it only applies to certain employees that work within the banking sector. The Banks and Bank Holidays Act 1912 requires all banks in New South Wales to be closed on the day. Some businesses closely associated with banks will also close for the day, typically if the bank holiday is included as a paid holiday in their award or agreement.

ABOUT NSW PUBLIC HOLIDAYS

In New South Wales, public holidays can be divided into two groups - Statewide and Regional.

Statewide NSW Public Holidays are recognised by all regions throughout New South Wales. Some examples of statewide public holidays include Australia Day, ANZAC Day, Queen's Birthday and Boxing Day.

Regional NSW Public Holidays are special holidays that are only recognised in specific regions of New South Wales. The majority of the time these regional public holidays are held for local shows or on some occasions for horse racing events. Some regions even have part day public holidays, such as Grafton which has a half day holiday for the Ramornie Race Day and a half day holiday for the Grafton Cup Day.
