About the time in Canberra
Canberra is on standard time today. The next clock change is due on 4 October 2026; meetings booked either side of it are the ones worth double-checking.
Around 367,752 people live in Canberra, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Canberra sits at latitude -35.28, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 10h 57m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
