Timezone conversion
UTC to AEST Time — Convert Coordinated Universal Time to Australian Eastern Standard Time
AEST is currently 10 hours ahead of UTC. The gap shifts across the year: around January AEST is 11 hours ahead of UTC, and around July it is 10 hours ahead of UTC, because one or both zones observe daylight saving.
AEST is currently 10 hours ahead of UTC.
Abbreviation disambiguation
On Clockjumper, UTC refers to Coordinated Universal Time — the global reference from which every other zone is expressed as an offset. It never shifts for daylight saving. GMT is equivalent to UTC for everyday use, though in the UK "GMT" also names the winter time, with clocks moving to BST in summer.
On Clockjumper, AEST refers to Australian Eastern Standard Time, UTC+10 — the winter time in New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and the ACT. From the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April those states move to AEDT (UTC+11). Queensland stays on AEST all year and does not observe daylight saving.
