Timezones in Australia
Australia uses several timezones. Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra follow Australia/Sydney or Australia/Melbourne with daylight saving in the south. Brisbane and Darwin stay on standard time all year. Adelaide uses a 30-minute offset, and Perth is on Australian Western Standard Time. There is no single “Australian time.”
Daylight saving and business hours
Australia uses more than one timezone, so DST and working hours can differ by city. Typical weekday office hours are often 09:00–17:00 local time — a planning range, not a legal standard. Open a city page for the live offset and DST flag from PHP’s timezone database.
