Time difference between EST and AEST
AEST is 16 hours ahead of EST in winter (January) and 14 hours ahead of EST 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.
