NSW's latest public holiday is set to bring a double helping of financial constraints to small businesses.

With the state's latest Anzac Day holiday set to fall on Saturday, April 25, NSW Premier Chris Minns confirmed that the following Monday will also be recognised as a public holiday, causing additional staffing costs for small businesses statewide.

The double-up will be introduced next year as well, with Anzac Day falling on a Sunday.

The government has acknowledged that the additional holiday may result in increased financial pressures for small businesses, mainly due to the public holiday penalty rates.

The NSW Premier said that small businesses are set to face the brunt of the additional holiday, saying it is "somewhat of an additional burden for small businesses".

Laurence McLean, Director of Operations at Peninsula Australia, said the change shows the importance of businesses having a clear understanding of their entitlements and obligations.

"For small businesses operating on tight margins, an additional public holiday immediately after a weekend, particularly where the Saturday prior is already a public holiday," McLean said.

"In this case, Anzac Day on 25 April can influence staffing decisions and operational planning.

"Reviewing rosters, confirming entitlements, and ensuring compliance with the Fair Work Act will help employers prepare effectively," she added.

The government has acknowledged that the latest public holiday has not been welcomed by all business owners, despite framing it as an opportunity for the broader community to participate in Anzac Day events.

One person with alleged ties to Islamic State has been hit with a temporary ban from returning to Australia, the Department of Home Affairs has confirmed.

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke confirmed an exclusion order had been taken out against the individual, who is an Australian citizen and part of a group of 34 women and children from 11 families who are seeking to leave Syria and return to Australia.

"I can confirm that one individual in this cohort has been issued a Temporary Exclusion Order, which was made on advice from security agencies," Burke said.

"At this stage security agencies have not provided advice that other members of the cohort meet the required legal thresholds for temporary exclusion orders."

The Department of Home Affairs declined to comment, saying it was unable to discuss individual cases.

The group had attempted to leave a camp in north-east Syria and travel to the capital Damascus, where they would then try to return to Australia.

However, an hour after leaving, they were turned around by authorities.

Hakmiyeh Ibrahim, the camp's director, said the planned repatriations were organised by family members of the returnees, who had travelled from Australia to accompany them, rather than directly by Australian authorities.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed he and his government would not be providing any support to the group in their efforts to return to Australia.

"We won't repatriate them," Albanese told ABC radio.

"The government was taken to court by one of the non-government organisations, saying that we had a responsibility, and they weren't successful in that."

Cabinet Minister Amanda Rishworth echoed the Prime Minister's sentiments.

"Our security agencies are monitoring the situation in Syria, but there won't be assistance from the Australian government," cabinet minister Amanda Rishworth told Today.

"They made a choice to go to Syria."

Most people in the Roj camp are women and children with alleged links to Islamic State, though many are not prisoners or have not been accused of a crime.
