Noting that the following dates and times relate specifically to Canberra, you may find the following interesting …

The winter solstice at 12:41 PM on 21 June is the point after which the total daylight each day starts getting longer (admittedly by only one second on 22 June but it then steadily picks up the pace each day).  However, it is more complicated than just a bit of extra daylight evenly shared between the morning and the afternoon from the solstice onwards. 

The sun actually continues to sleep in past the solstice until 30 June when it will rise at 7:13 AM.  However, the earliest sunset occurs before the solstice on 12 June at 4:57 PM. 
* From 12 June to the solstice, the total sunlight is decreasing each day because the loss of sunlight in the mornings is greater than the gain of sunlight in the afternoons;
* From the Solstice until 30 June, the total sunlight starts to increase each day because the gain of sunlight in the afternoons is greater than the continuing loss of sunlight in the mornings; and
* From 1 July onwards, there is a gain of sunlight in both the mornings and the afternoon.

So in summary, the afternoons are already getting longer (before the sunsets), but the mornings will get later (the sun rises later) until July.
