FAQ

Melbourne time — FAQ

Does Melbourne observe daylight saving time?

Yes. Victoria uses AEDT (UTC+11) from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April, then reverts to AEST (UTC+10). Note this is the opposite cycle from the Northern Hemisphere.

Is Melbourne always in the same time zone as Sydney?

Usually yes — both use AEST/AEDT and follow the same DST schedule. Queensland (Brisbane) does not use DST, so it can differ from Melbourne by 1 hour in summer.

What is the time difference between Melbourne and London?

Melbourne is 10 hours ahead of London in UK winter. The gap shifts to 8–9 hours during transition periods because the two hemispheres change their clocks at different times.
