Australia/Sydney · UTC+10
Depending on the date, Sydney is either UTC+10 on AEST or UTC+11 on AEDT. Australian Eastern Daylight Time runs from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April. Rather than guess, read the live clock above: it follows the Australia/Sydney zone and changes over on its own. Because the southern-hemisphere summer straddles New Year, Sydney's daylight-saving period runs across the turn of the year rather than through the middle of it.

Common questions
- What time is it in Sydney right now?
- The clock at the top of this page shows the current time in Sydney, updated every second, with today's date and the day of the week beneath it. It reads your device's clock and converts it using the Australia/Sydney rules, so it stays correct across daylight-saving changes.
- What is the UTC offset in Sydney?
- AEST is UTC+10 and AEDT is UTC+11. Sydney is on AEDT from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April, and on AEST for the rest of the year.
- Does Sydney observe daylight saving time?
- Yes. Clocks go forward an hour for Australian Eastern Daylight Time, which runs from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April, and back again at the end of it.
- What is the IANA timezone for Sydney?
- Australia/Sydney. That is the identifier to use in code (a database column, a cron schedule, an Intl.DateTimeFormat call), because it carries the full history of offset and daylight-saving changes for Sydney rather than one fixed number.
