Time Difference
It’s easy to pick up the phone and do business with Australia, especially during the northern hemisphere summer, when the major cities on the east coast are only five hours behind LA (but a day ahead!). As the seasons are reversed, Australian Daylight Saving operates during the northern hemisphere winter.
When it’s 4:00pm in LA in winter, it’s:
- 10:00am in Brisbane
- 10:30am in Adelaide
- 11:00am in Canberra, Melbourne, Hobart and Sydney
- 9:30am in Darwin
- 9:00am in Perth
When it’s 4:00pm in LA in summer, it’s:
- 9:00am in Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Hobart and Sydney
- 8:30am in Adelaide and Darwin
- 7:00am in Perth

Time Zones
Australia has three time zones: Eastern Standard Time (Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria), Central Standard Time (South Australia and Northern Territory), and Western Standard Time (Western Australia). During the Australian summer (northern hemisphere winter), the southern states (ACT, NSW, SA, TAS, VIC, WA) apply Daylight Saving, while Queensland and Northern Territory are on the same time all year round.
