About AEST and UTC
Australian Eastern Time (AEST/AEDT) is used in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane. Sydney and Melbourne shift to AEDT from October to April; Brisbane stays on AEST.
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the global reference clock used in aviation, servers and log files. UTC never changes for daylight saving.
Time difference between AEST and UTC
UTC is 11 hours behind AEST in winter (January) and 10 hours behind AEST in summer (July), because of daylight saving changes. The clocks and table above are computed live from the official IANA time zone database in your browser, so daylight saving transitions are always already included.

Best hours for meetings

Rows where one side is early morning or late evening are workable for a quick call; avoid rows where either side is in the middle of the night.
