Time Zones of Australia

Australia has three different time zones, Eastern (EST), Central (CST) and Western Standard Time (WST). EST is for New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, Tasmania and Queensland. CST is for the Northern Territory and South Australia and then there is WST in Western Australia. CST is half an hour behind EST, and WST is two hours behind EST.

We also have Daylight Savings, where we wind our clocks forward an hour during this period. New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria and South Australia have daylight savings from the end of October - end of March. In Tasmania they start at the beginning of October - end of March. Western Australia have it too, from early December to end of March. The Northern Territory and Queensland don’t have Daylight Savings.
