Daylight Saving Time 2025 in Australia
www.timeanddate.com
When do the clocks spring forward or fall back in Australia? Daylight Saving Time for 2025 and other years.

Remember the clocks go forward 1 hour at 2am on Sunday (Saturday night).

The hour will not be lost completely, it is being given as a no-interest loan to the Gods of Time, to be returned to us on 5th April next year.

Edit: Corrected my grammatical error, because https://aussie.zone/u/dan@upvote.au is right, even if I don’t want to admit it. It is Daylight Saving, not Savings.

    Perhaps it’s time to update the terminology. We all know we are not really saving anything and we’re just messing with the clocks. Maybe we could have the Spring BBQ Extending Adjustment and the Autumn Sleep-in Morning instead, to try to get people to focus on the posititve aspects, with the time periods just being referred to as Summer Time and Winter Time.

      I like to call it “government-encouraged death time”, considering its main impact is an increase in traffic crashes, heart attacks, and suicides.
