About these time zones
Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST)
Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) is UTC+10. New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and the ACT use AEST in winter and Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT, UTC+11) from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April. Queensland stays on AEST all year.
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the primary time standard used to regulate clocks worldwide and the reference for aviation, weather forecasting, computing and science. It never changes for daylight saving time, and every time zone is defined as an offset from it — for example, India Standard Time is UTC+5:30.
