UTC to AEST Converter
Coordinated Universal Time to Australian Eastern Time: live clocks, today's full conversion table, and the best hours to call. Daylight saving is handled automatically.
About UTC and AEST
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the global reference clock used in aviation, servers and log files. UTC never changes for daylight saving.
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.
Time difference between UTC and AEST
AEST is 11 hours ahead of UTC in winter (January) and 10 hours ahead of UTC 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
Scan the table for rows where both sides land inside working hours (9:00 to 18:00). 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. To line up three or more cities at once, use the time zone converter and meeting planner.
