Sydney is the second official seat and second official residence of the Governor-General of Australia and the Prime Minister of Australia.Global companies are attracted to the city in part because its time zone spans the closing of business in North America and the opening of business in Europe. Most foreign companies in Sydney maintain significant sales and service functions but comparably less production, research, and development capabilities. |

Sydney time zone and UTC offset
Sydney runs on AEDT. That places it 11 hours ahead of UTC (UTC+11:00); in a calendar, server config or booking form, select Australia/Sydney.
Sydney observes daylight saving. The next change lands on Sunday, 04 April 2027, when 1 hour is added or removed and the abbreviation becomes AEST.
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 Sydney.
