In Australia, clocks change for Daylight Saving Time (DST) in certain states and territories. In 2025, the clocks will go forward by one hour at 2:00 AM local standard time on Sunday, October 5. This means at 2:00 AM, clocks will be set forward to 3:00 AM, resulting in more daylight in the evening. This change applies to the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, and Victoria. Clocks will then go back by one hour at 3:00 AM local daylight time on Sunday, April 6, 2025, to return to standard time, giving more daylight in the morning. Note that Western Australia, Queensland, and the Northern Territory do not observe daylight saving time.
