Daylight saving time in Melbourne finishes on Sunday, 5 April 2026, when clocks go back one hour at 3:00 am to 2:00 am local time.

Here’s the quick scoop for you:

  • In Victoria, daylight saving ends on the first Sunday in April , which in 2026 is 5 April.
  • The change happens overnight: when it hits 3:00 am daylight saving time, clocks are turned back to 2:00 am standard time.
  • From that day, Melbourne returns to Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST), with earlier sunrises and earlier sunsets compared to the day before.

If you’re planning ahead, this means that on the night of Saturday 4 April to Sunday 5 April 2026, you effectively get an extra hour of sleep.
