Changes to Daylight Savings for ACT, NSW, SA, VIC and TAS

From 2008 the ACT, NSW, South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania will all start daylight savings on the first Sunday in October and end on the first Sunday in April. This will result in an extra month of daylight saving for the ACT and introduces common start and finish dates in these states.

ACT   New South Wales   South Australia   Tasmania   Victoria

Starting in 2008
Begins 2 am EST the first Sunday in October
Ends 2 am EST the first Sunday in April

Western Australia

A three-year trial of daylight saving began in Western Australia on Sunday December 3, 2006. This trial period gives Western Australians time to see if they like Daylight Savings or not. A referendum will be held in 2009 to decide whether it should become permanent. Previously WA had 3 referendums ... 8 March 1975, 7 April 1984, 4 April 1992 ... and all 3 were defeated.

Begins at 2 am on the last Sunday in October.
Ends at 3 am on the last Sunday in March.
