With only a few hours left, Australians across the country are preparing to ring in the new year.
Celebrations and events have been scheduled in major cities to bring Australians together, as they count down the final moments of 2025.
Here's a guide for events happening today.
Sydney
The iconic New Year's Eve fireworks will return at midnight on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
At 11pm, a minute of silence will be held to commemorate the victims of the Bondi Beach terror attack.
The Harbour Bridge will also be lit up in white, with a menorah projected onto the bridge's pylons.
NSW Premier Chris Minns has encouraged Sydney residents to participate in the celebrations.
"We need to show defiance in the face of this evil," he said on Tuesday.
"The best way of doing that is to spend some time with your friends and your family on New Year's Eve, on Sydney Harbour."
Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore said she hopes tonight's event "brings people from all cultures, nationalities, faith, hope and joy, and a sense of unity as we stand together to see in this year new year".
Events with increased security will also go ahead at Coogee, Parramatta and on the city's northern beaches. However, a planned gathering at Bondi has been cancelled.
There will be thousands of armed police in attendance to ensure the crowds are safe all over the city.
Minns says the exact details are being kept under wraps so as not to compromise security, but he says people should not be alarmed if they see more police than usual with long-arm weapons.
