Understanding Time Zones: ET and AEST
Eastern Time (ET) is a time zone primarily used in the eastern United States and Canada. Its standard time is 5 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) is a time zone used in the eastern states of Australia, including New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland. It is 10 hours ahead of UTC.

To convert from ET to AEST, you need to add 15 hours to the ET time. For example, if it is 9 am ET, it would be 12:00 pm (noon) the following day AEST.
Converting from AEST to ET
To convert from AEST to ET, you need to subtract 15 hours from the AEST time. For example, if it is 12:00 pm (noon) AEST, it would be 9:00 pm ET the previous day.
Sample Conversions
- 9:00 am ET = 12:00 pm (noon) AEST the following day
- 12:00 pm (noon) ET = 3:00 am AEST the following day
- 3:00 pm ET = 6:00 am AEST the following day
- 6:00 pm ET = 9:00 am AEST the following day
- 9:00 pm ET = 12:00 pm (noon) AEST the following day
Daylight Saving Time
Both ET and AEST observe Daylight Saving Time (DST) during the summer months. In ET, DST begins on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November. In AEST, DST begins on the first Sunday of October and ends on the first Sunday of April.
When DST is in effect, the time difference between ET and AEST decreases by one hour. For example, if it is 9 am ET during DST, it would be 11:00 am AEST the same day.
