Time in Darwin, Australia

Time zone: ACST (UTC/GMT +09:30) — Australia/Darwin

Darwin keeps ACST (9 hours 30 minutes ahead of UTC, UTC+09:30). Its database zone is Australia/Darwin — worth knowing if you are scheduling anything that has to survive a daylight saving change.

Daylight saving is not observed here, so UTC+09:30 is year-round. Any seasonal drift you notice against another city comes from that city, not from Darwin.

Australia is not on a single clock: the 50 cities listed here fall across 7 time zones, so times elsewhere in the country will not match Darwin.

Read this as: relative to each city below, Darwin is the stated amount ahead or behind, right now.

Overlap of a normal working day, shown in Darwin time — outside these windows one side is off the clock.

No shared working window exists with New York, Los Angeles, London or Sao Paulo, so those calls have to sit outside somebody's normal hours.

These Australia cities also use Australia/Darwin, so their clocks read identically to Darwin at every moment of the year.
