Why Are Flags at Half-Mast on Sydney Harbour Bridge Today?

As of my knowledge cutoff (April 2024), I cannot access real-time flag protocols. The Australian National Flag on the Sydney Harbour Bridge is flown at half-mast only on designated occasions:

Scheduled Half-Mast Days (Annual)

• Anzac Day (25 April) – Dawn to noon, then full mast.
• Remembrance Day (11 November) – 10:30–11:03 AM.
• National Police Remembrance Day (29 September).
• Death of the Sovereign / senior royals.
• Death of current/former Governor-General, PM, State Governors, Chief Justices.
• National day of mourning (gazetted).

How to Check Today

• PM&C (Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet): pmc.gov.au/government/flags – Official half-mast notices.
• NSW Government: nsw.gov.au – State-specific.
• Transport for NSW (bridge operator) – Twitter/X @TransportNSW.
• Australian Flag Protocol – Half-mast = one flag-width below peak; never at night unless illuminated.

If no notice is published, the flag is at full mast. For real-time status, check the official sources above.
