Frequently Asked Questions
What is the AEST to UTC offset?
AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) is UTC+10. During summer (October to April), Sydney and Melbourne switch to AEDT (UTC+11). Queensland does not observe DST.
When does Australian Daylight Saving Time start?
AEDT begins on the first Sunday in October (clocks move forward at 2:00 AM to 3:00 AM) and ends on the first Sunday in April (clocks move back at 3:00 AM to 2:00 AM). Note that Queensland, NT, and WA do not observe DST.
How do I convert AEST to PST?
AEST is 18 hours ahead of PST (17 hours ahead of PDT). For example, 9 AM Monday AEST is 3 PM Sunday PST. Use this converter for exact results accounting for both timezones' DST rules.
