Daylight saving begins at 2 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on the last Sunday in October and ends at 3 a.m. summer time on the last Sunday in March. During daylight saving, summer time in New South Wales is one hour in advance of New South Wales standard time.

Therefore, at 2 a.m. standard time on the last Sunday in October clocks are put forward one hour- the time then becomes 3 a.m. summer time. At 3 a.m. summer time on the last Sunday in March clocks are put back one hour- the time then becomes 2 a.m. standard time.
