It depends what you want to do. If you want to get into academia, honours is the first step. If you want something to give you an edge over Bachelor graduates, it can be useful. It's also good if you want to study a particular topic in depth, or go into a niche industry.

It's always worth looking into now. I was fairly sure I wanted to do honours by the end of first year.
