Daylight saving time in Perth
Perth does not observe daylight saving time. Its offset stays at UTC+08:00 every day of the year, which makes it one of the simpler zones to work with: a fixed offset is enough to convert any timestamp, and there are no missing or repeated local hours.
Converting timestamps for this zone in code
Always pass the IANA identifier Australia/Perth rather than a numeric
offset. The identifier carries the zone's entire history of offset and
daylight saving changes, so a timestamp from any year converts correctly; a
hard-coded offset is only right until the next rule change.
# Python
from datetime import datetime
from zoneinfo import ZoneInfo
datetime.fromtimestamp(1710050400, ZoneInfo("Australia/Perth"))
// JavaScript
new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-GB', { timeZone: 'Australia/Perth',
dateStyle: 'full', timeStyle: 'long' }).format(new Date(1710050400 * 1000));
<?php // PHP
(new DateTimeImmutable("@1710050400"))->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone("Australia/Perth"));More languages on the code examples pages.

Frequently asked questions
What is the current time in Perth?
The clock above shows the current time in the Australia/Perth time zone, updating every second from your own device clock. Perth is currently UTC+08:00 (GMT+8).
What is the UTC offset for Australia/Perth?
Perth stays on UTC+08:00 all year — this zone does not observe daylight saving time, so the offset never changes.
Does Perth observe daylight saving time?
No. Perth does not observe daylight saving time, so its offset from UTC is the same on every day of the year. That makes timestamp conversion for this zone simpler than for zones that shift twice a year.
How do I convert a Unix timestamp to Perth time?
Paste the timestamp into the converter on this page — the output zone is already set to Australia/Perth. In code, pass the IANA identifier Australia/Perth to your language's time zone function rather than hard-coding an offset, so daylight saving is handled for you.
