Millions of Aussies will lose an hour’s sleep this weekend as daylight saving begins. Here’s everything you need to know about how it affects you.
NSW, VIC, TAS, ACT, SA, NORFOLK ISLAND
These states and territories take part in daylight saving from October 6 until April 7, 2025.
This mean clocks will leap forward from 1.59am to 3am, missing the 2am hour on Sunday morning.
QLD, NT, WA, CHRISTMAS AND COCOS (KEELING) ISLANDS
Queensland, the Northern Territory, Western Australia, Christmas Island and the Cocos (or Keeling) Islands do not have daylight saving, so residents in those regions don’t need to do anything on October 6.
