Time zone in Victoria
All of Victoria keeps the same time: Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST, UTC+10) in winter and Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT, UTC+11) in summer.
Melbourne lies at 145.0° east, where mean solar time is UTC+9:40 (four minutes per degree of longitude). Standard time runs 20 min ahead of the sun, so on average the sun is highest at about 12:20 PM in winter and an hour later in summer.
Daylight saving time in Victoria
Yes. Victoria moves its clocks forward one hour on the first Sunday of October at 2:00 AM and back on the first Sunday of April at 3:00 AM (local time). It is in the southern hemisphere, so summer time runs from about October to April, the opposite of Europe and North America.
All coming change dates are on the Australia/Melbourne page.
Clock history of Victoria
Victoria has kept the same clocks as Melbourne since at least 1970: tzdata records both under Australia/Melbourne. Between 1970 and 2024, a daylight saving period began in 54 of the 55 years. Before 1970 local practice could differ from Melbourne’s, and tzdata does not track it separately; the year-by-year table, which starts with Melbourne’s local mean time, is on the Australia/Melbourne page.
