Daylight Saving TimeAustralia Summer Time: October - MarchAustralia DSTDaylight Saving Time (DST) has been implemented within Australia in various forms since the early 1900s.The following sections provide more detailed information Historic dates of Daylight Saving Time in Australia GlossaryLST - Local Standard TimeThe globe is divided into Standard time zones and Local Standard Time is the time specified for each zone. This is usually done in terms of hours ahead or behind GMT. The LST zones in Australia are as follows:AEST - Australian Eastern Standard Time (GMT +10) in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania ACST - Australian Central Standard Time (GMT +9.5) in Northern Territories and South Australia AWST - Australian Western Standard Time (GMT +8) in Western Australia. DST - Daylight Saving TimeAlso known as summer time, Daylight Saving Time occurs when the time on local clocks is advanced forward by one hour at the beginning of the defined period of DST, and returned back by one hour at the end of DST. The exact dates between which DST is to apply can be obtained from the relevant Australian State governments.
Queensland and the Northern Territory do not observe daylight saving.Within Australia DST across the three time zones is generally denoted by AEDT - Australian Eastern Daylight Time
