What is ICT in ACST?

Australian Central Time is 3 hours 30 minutes ahead

Indochina Time is on UTC+7:00 and Australian Central Time is on UTC+10:30 right now. Australian Central Time is on daylight saving, so its clocks read ACDT. The gap changes during the year — see below.

When the difference changes

Indochina Time and Australian Central 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 – April 3, 2027Australian Central Time is 3 hours 30 minutes ahead
  2. April 3, 2027 – October 2, 2027Australian Central Time is 2 hours 30 minutes ahead
  3. October 2, 2027 – onwardsAustralian Central Time is 3 hours 30 minutes 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

Indochina Time

No clock changes

Indochina Time stays on ICT all year, so its offset from UTC never moves.

Australian Central Time

Sunday, April 4, 2027

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

Scheduling between the two

Working hours overlap from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm ICT, which is 12:30 pm to 6:30 pm ACDT. Anything inside that window falls in the normal working day at both ends.

Indochina Time (ICT) is used in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos

Australian Central Time (ACDT) is used in South Australia and the Northern Territory, on a half-hour offset from the east coast
