Converting Australian Eastern Standard Time to Coordinated Universal Time

Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) are separated by a 10 hours time difference. UTC is 10 hours behind AEST. AEST is UTC+10, used in Australia, while UTC is UTC+0.

When converting from AEST to UTC, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM AEST equals 11:00 PM UTC, 12:00 PM noon AEST equals 2:00 AM UTC, and 5:00 PM AEST equals 7:00 AM UTC. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.

Scheduling Across AEST and UTC

For professionals scheduling meetings between AEST and UTC, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 10 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited, making early morning or late evening calls necessary for one party. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.

Daylight Saving Time Considerations

AEST observes Daylight Saving Time, switching to AEDT (UTC+11) during summer months. UTC does not observe DST, staying at UTC+0 year-round. During DST transitions, the time difference between these zones may temporarily change by 1 hour. Always verify the current offset during spring and fall transition periods.
