When the difference changes
British Time and Australian Eastern 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:
- Now – March 28, 2027Australian Eastern Time is 11 hours ahead
- March 28, 2027 – April 3, 2027Australian Eastern Time is 10 hours ahead
- April 3, 2027 – October 2, 2027Australian Eastern Time is 9 hours ahead
- October 2, 2027 – October 31, 2027Australian Eastern Time is 10 hours ahead
- October 31, 2027 – onwardsAustralian Eastern Time is 11 hours ahead
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.
Daylight saving
British Time
Clocks go forward one hour — 1:00 am becomes 2:00 am local time, and the zone is on BST after that.
Australian Eastern Time
Clocks go back one hour — 3:00 am becomes 2:00 am local time, and the zone is on AEST after that.

Scheduling between the two
There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in London and one in Sydney — the gap is too wide. A call has to sit early or late for one side. Early morning in London is the usual compromise, since that is late afternoon or evening in Sydney.
A note on BST: it can also mean Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+6). This page means British Summer Time.
British Time (GMT) is used in the whole United Kingdom. In winter the UK is on GMT; from late March to late October it is on BST, an hour ahead.
Australian Eastern Time (AEDT) is used in Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane. Queensland stays on AEST all year while the southern states move to AEDT.
