Current local time in Australia
Australia spans 8 time zones, from UTC+8 to UTC+10. 5 of the 8 observe daylight saving time, so the gap between regions widens and narrows across the year.
Every clock below is computed in your browser from the IANA time zone database, so the offsets reflect the daylight-saving rules in force today rather than a value written down once and left to rot.
