When the difference changes

Eastern Time and Australian Western Standard 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, 2027Australian Western Standard Time is 13 hours ahead
  2. March 14, 2027 – November 7, 2027Australian Western Standard Time is 12 hours ahead
  3. November 7, 2027 – onwardsAustralian Western Standard Time is 13 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

Eastern Time

Sunday, March 14, 2027

Clocks go forward one hour — 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time, and the zone is on EDT after that.

Australian Western Standard Time

No clock changes

Australian Western Standard Time stays on AWST all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.

Scheduling between the two

There is no overlap between a nine-to-six working day in New York and one in Perth — the gap is too wide. A call has to sit early or late for one side. Early morning in New York is the usual compromise, since that is late afternoon or evening in Perth.

Eastern Time (EST) is used in Toronto, Atlanta, Miami, Detroit and most of the US east coast

Australian Western Standard Time (AWST) is used in Western Australia, which does not observe daylight saving
