Which island territory uses Norfolk Island Time?

The island territory that uses Norfolk Island Time is Norfolk Island. It is an Australian external territory in the South Pacific, and its standard time is commonly abbreviated NFT.

Norfolk Island lies between Australia and New Zealand and includes the main island along with the smaller Phillip and Nepean islands. Its standard time is UTC+11:00. During the territory’s daylight-saving period, clocks move one hour forward to Norfolk Daylight Time, or UTC+12:00. The time-zone abbreviation NFT can therefore refer to the standard-time portion of the year rather than every date on the calendar.

The island’s clock history has changed. Norfolk Island used UTC+11:30 for decades, but on 4 October 2015 it moved to UTC+11:00. The change was intended to simplify coordination with mainland Australia and resolve technical problems caused by the unusual half-hour offset. The distractors are other Australian or Pacific territories, but Cocos Islands and Christmas Island use different Australian time zones, while the Pitcairn Islands use UTC−08:00.
