Taking 9 AM to 5 PM on each clock as the working day, the two zones are never at work at the same moment, so a meeting means an early start or a late finish on one side. _Figure: A day on EST clocks with EST and AEST working hours, 9 AM to 5 PM on each clock. They share no hours._ One day on EST clocks, with the same moments read on AEST clocks underneath. A team spread across two time zones has fewer chances to notice someone drifting away. TeamPredict reads public LinkedIn signals to flag resignation risk early, wherever people work. ## The gap between EST and AEST moves between 14 hours and 16 hours during the year. The United States and eastern Australia change their clocks on different dates, in opposite halves of the year, so the gap changes more than once. _Figure: The gap between EST and AEST through 2026 and 2027, coloured by size: 14 hours, 15 hours, 16 hours._ Each bar is one calendar year, January on the left. Days are coloured by the gap between EST and AEST. ### These are the clock changes of both zones in 2026 and 2027.

Eastern Time is EST (UTC−5) in winter and EDT (UTC−4) in summer. People write EST all year, and this page does too; the clock reads EDT right now. It moves its clocks forward at 2:00 AM on the second Sunday in March and back at 2:00 AM on the first Sunday in November. Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra are on AEST (UTC+10) in winter and AEDT (UTC+11) in summer, and this page follows Sydney. The clock reads AEDT right now. They move forward on the first Sunday in October and back on the first Sunday in April, and Queensland stays on AEST all year. ## These nearby time zone pairs show the time right now too. - [AEST to EST](https://www.teampredict.ai/tools/time-zone-converter/aest-to-est) - [EST to PST](https://www.teampredict.ai/tools/time-zone-converter/est-to-pst) - [EST to CST](https://www.teampredict.ai/tools/time-zone-converter/est-to-cst) - [EST to MST](https://www.teampredict.ai/tools/time-zone-converter/est-to-mst) - [EST to IST](https://www.teampredict.ai/tools/time-zone-converter/est-to-ist) - [EST to GMT](https://www.teampredict.ai/tools/time-zone-converter/est-to-gmt) - [EST to UTC](https://www.teampredict.ai/tools/time-zone-converter/est-to-utc) The [time zone converter](https://www.teampredict.ai/tools/time-zone-converter) reads one moment on up to 12 clocks, the [military time converter](https://www.teampredict.ai/tools/military-time-converter) turns 24-hour times into AM and PM, and the [time duration calculator](https://www.teampredict.ai/tools/time-duration-calculator) measures the hours between two moments. ## Here are four questions about EST to AEST, answered. What is 9 AM EST in AEST? 9:00 AM EST is 12:00 AM AEST the next day, and 5:00 PM EST is 8:00 AM AEST the next day. From Sunday, November 1, 2026 the gap is 16 hours, so 9:00 AM EST is 1:00 AM AEST the next day. What is the time difference between EST and AEST? Eastern Time (EST) is 15 hours behind Australian Eastern Time (AEST). The gap between EST and AEST moves between 14 hours and 16 hours during the year. The United States and eastern Australia change their clocks on different dates, in opposite halves of the year, so the gap changes more than once. After today, it becomes 16 hours on Sunday, November 1, 2026 and then 15 hours on Sunday, March 14, 2027. Is Sydney on AEST all year? No. Sydney is on AEDT (UTC+11) from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April and on AEST (UTC+10) the rest of the year. Its clocks move on these days. In 2026: Apr 5 and Oct 4. In 2027: Apr 4 and Oct 3. Queensland stays on AEST all year, so for Brisbane the gap is an hour different while Sydney is on AEDT. What is a good time for a meeting between EST and AEST? No time is inside 9 AM to 5 PM on both clocks. With an early start or a late finish (7 AM to 9 PM on both sides) there are 5 hours: 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM EST (7:00 AM to 12:00 PM AEST, the next day). ## Turnover is cheaper to prevent than to calculate.
