What is Bank Holiday?
The NSW Bank Holiday applies to banks and certain financial institutions; the NSW Government states that it is not a general public holiday. The calendar therefore does not present it as a statewide day off for all workers.
This narrower legal scope is the main purpose of the detail page. Its presence in a holiday dataset should not be used to infer that every NSW business closes.
The annual date is taken from the NSW Government list and the entry is kept separate from general NSW public holidays.
- Applies in:
- state/territory (New South Wales) · limited public holiday
A bank holiday for banks and financial institutions; not a general public holiday.
