What is AEST in PST?

Pacific Time is 19 hours behind

Australian Eastern Time is on UTC+11:00 and Pacific Time is on UTC−8:00 right now. Australian Eastern Time is on daylight saving, so its clocks read AEDT. The gap changes during the year — see below.

When the difference changes

Australian Eastern Time and Pacific Time do not change their clocks on the same dates, so the gap between them is not the same all year. Most converters show only today’s figure. These are the periods ahead:

  1. Now – March 14, 2027Pacific Time is 19 hours behind
  2. March 14, 2027 – April 4, 2027Pacific Time is 18 hours behind
  3. April 4, 2027 – October 3, 2027Pacific Time is 17 hours behind
  4. October 3, 2027 – November 7, 2027Pacific Time is 18 hours behind
  5. November 7, 2027 – onwardsPacific Time is 19 hours behind

Periods shorter than a day are not listed. Each zone changes at its own local time, so on a date when both move there are a few hours when the gap is briefly something else.

Scheduling between the two

Working hours overlap from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm AEDT, which is 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm PST. Anything inside that window falls in the normal working day at both ends.

Australian Eastern Time (AEDT) is used in Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane. Queensland stays on AEST all year while the southern states move to AEDT.

Pacific Time (PST) is used in San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas and Vancouver
