Daylight saving returns on the first Sunday of October in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT, putting the clocks forward an hour. 6 October 2027 falls in this month of change, while Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory keep the same clock they run all year, unaffected by the switch.
A public holiday landing on a Wednesday sits in the middle of its working week rather than beside a weekend, so it does not create a long weekend on its own. Wednesday 6 October 2027 falls on this day of the week, at the working week's midpoint, three working days deep into the week.
The countdown to 6 October 2027 is measured from today's date and updates once every day, since the number of days, hours and minutes remaining changes continuously as the current date moves closer to it. Each visit to this page recalculates the figure fresh from the current moment, rather than storing a fixed number that would go stale over time.
