Daylight saving time will return in several Australian states and territories on Sunday, October 4, 2026, at 2am Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST). The clocks will move forward one hour to 3am, providing an additional hour of afternoon daylight for residents in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, and the Australian Capital Territory. Queensland, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory do not observe daylight saving time. The article explains that smart devices typically adjust automatically, but manual adjustments are required for analogue clocks and kitchen appliances. For workers, the Fair Work Ombudsman advises checking employment agreements for specific terms regarding daylight saving time. If not specified, payment is typically 'by the clock,' meaning employees working during the transition may receive pay for eight hours despite working only seven. The article also addresses how to adjust body clocks, recommending gradual bedtime adjustments and exposure to morning light. It notes that while some may experience minor effects similar to jet lag, research shows no significant mental health impacts. Daylight saving time will end on Sunday, April 4, 2027, when clocks revert to standard time. The Guardian provides a comprehensive guide for residents and workers preparing for the time change.
