Australia: current time
Syncing • Using device timeNote: the value above does not include device-clock drift accumulated after calibration. This is generally no more than ±1 ms per minute, but the actual rate varies by device.The lowest round-trip latency measured between your browser and the current time-service node. It is typically affected by physical distance, network routing, access quality, and current congestion.Network latency describes the measured connection. It is separate from the estimated time-error range and must not be treated as that range or divided in half.This error does not show whether your device clock is fast or slow.

The largest current time difference between the time zones listed here. It may change when clocks change.

Approximate time-zone coverage. Insets use different scales; small islands may be simplified or omitted. Includes Lord Howe and Macquarie islands; excludes Antarctica and external territories with their own territory pages.
Data sources, versions and limits
Directory associations and approximate map outlines follow the cited sources, without determining sovereignty. Small islands and boundaries may be simplified.
Administrative boundaries are reference geography; a region may span several time zones.
Australia/Lord_Howe uses UTC+10:30 in standard time and UTC+11:00 in daylight time, so Lord Howe Island’s seasonal clock change is 30 minutes rather than one hour.
