How It Works

Formula

AEST = UTC + 10:00 (Apr - Oct)
AEDT = UTC + 11:00 (Oct - Apr)

Example

12:00 PM UTC = 10:00 PM AEST (winter) or 11:00 PM AEDT (summer)

Daylight Saving Time Note

Australian Eastern Time observes DST in reverse to the Northern Hemisphere. Clocks spring forward in October and fall back in April. Note: Queensland (Brisbane) does NOT observe DST and stays on AEST (UTC+10) year-round. This converter uses the Australia/Sydney timezone which reflects DST for NSW, Victoria, and the ACT.
