What “daylight saving” means & who observes it
• In Australia, daylight saving (DST) means clocks are moved forward one hour in spring to extend evening daylight.
• The states that participate: New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, plus Norfolk Island. The states that do not observe DST: Queensland, Western Australia, Northern Territory. 

When it starts and ends
• DST starts in 2025 on Sunday, 5 October at 2:00 am, when clocks move forward to 3:00 am local time. 
• It ends on the first Sunday in April, meaning in 2026 it will conclude on Sunday, 5 April 2026 at 3:00 am when clocks go back to 2:00 am. 

Why this is trending now / what to expect
• Because the date is close, people are asking: “When does daylight savings end/start?” “Do I need to change all clocks manually?” “Which states skip it?”
• Some border regions (e.g. between NSW and QLD) deal with time confusion — one state shifts, the other doesn’t.
• The change affects sleep, schedules, transport times, device clocks, business hours, and daylight availability in the evenings.
• Many smartphones/devices will auto-update, but analog clocks and older appliances will need manual adjustment. 

Tips for adapting & precautions
• Gradually shift sleep times by 15 minutes over a couple of days before the change to ease the transition.
• Use morning light exposure and maintain consistent routines to reset your body clock faster.
• Check clocks (watches, wall clocks, microwaves, ovens) the night before.
• Be cautious driving or commuting just after the change — fatigue and timing errors are common.
