Why people convert AWST to AEDT time
- Scheduling a call from AWST to AEDT: a 10:00 AM start in AWST lands at 1:00 PM in AEDT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both AWST and AEDT are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM AWST time (12:00 PM–5:00 PM AEDT). That is roughly 5 hours of usable overlap.
- Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in AWST is 11:00 PM in AEDT makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM AWST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +3h gap is not.
- Block 9:00 AM–2:00 PM AWST as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from AWST and need AEDT colleagues present.
About AWST (Australian Western Standard Time)
Australian Western Standard Time (AWST) is used in Western Australia. WA does not observe daylight saving time, having rejected it in multiple referendums. Perth is the most remote major city in the world.
About AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time)
Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) is the daylight saving period in south-eastern Australia, one hour ahead of Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST, UTC+10:00). Because Australia is in the southern hemisphere, AEDT runs through the summer — from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April — which is almost exactly the reverse of the European and North American schedules. New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory observe it; Queensland and the Northern Territory do not, so Brisbane stays on AEST year round while Sydney moves to AEDT. During AEDT, Sydney is 11 hours ahead of UTC and 16 hours ahead of New York.
Best time to call between AWST and AEDT
Both AWST and AEDT sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:00 AM–2:00 PM AWST, which is 12:00 PM–5:00 PM AEDT. That gives roughly 5 hours of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.
Business hours overlap
AWST and AEDT share 5 hours of working-hours overlap (9:00 AM–2:00 PM AWST), so scheduling a live meeting is straightforward.
AWST is 3 hours ahead of AEDT (AWST UTC+08:00 → AEDT UTC+11:00). The shared working window is 9:00 AM–2:00 PM AWST. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
