Australia uses AEST (UTC+10) as its standard time across 12 IANA zones. Clocks move forward in summer for daylight saving time, so the local offset alternates seasonally around the UTC+10 standard. Times on this page are computed in your browser from the IANA time zone database, so they always match the real current time in Australia.
