Melbourne uses the Australia/Melbourne IANA timezone, which corresponds to Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST, UTC+10) in winter and Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT, UTC+11) during daylight saving time.

When does Melbourne switch to daylight saving time?

Victoria (Melbourne) observes daylight saving from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April the following year, moving clocks forward one hour.

Is this clock accurate?

The tool uses your device's system clock and the browser's built-in Intl API to convert to Australia/Melbourne. Accuracy depends on your device clock, which is typically synchronized via NTP and accurate to within a second.

Does this tool call any external server?

No. All computation happens in your browser using the Intl.DateTimeFormat API. No network request is made after the page loads.

What is the difference between AEST and AEDT?

AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) is UTC+10 and is observed in winter. AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) is UTC+11 and is observed in summer during daylight saving time.
