Why people convert AEDT to New Zealand time
- Scheduling a call from AEDT to New Zealand: a 10:00 AM start in AEDT lands at 12:00 PM in New Zealand, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Finding shared working hours: both AEDT and New Zealand are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM AEDT time (11:00 AM–5:00 PM NZDT). That is roughly 6 hours of usable overlap.
- Coordinating a AEDT-based team with New Zealand contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM AEDT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +2h gap is not.
- Block 9:00 AM–3:00 PM AEDT as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from AEDT and need New Zealand colleagues present.
- New Zealand: Clocks fall back on Sat, Apr 3, 2027. Any meeting series spanning that date will shift by an hour in local time.
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.
About NZST (New Zealand Standard Time)
New Zealand Standard Time (NZST) is the standard time zone for New Zealand and its dependencies. New Zealand is among the first countries to see a new calendar day. During summer (September to April), clocks advance to New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT, UTC+13:00).

Both AEDT and New Zealand sit inside the 9 AM – 5 PM working day between 9:00 AM–3:00 PM AEDT, which is 11:00 AM–5:00 PM NZDT. That gives roughly 6 hours of shared time — the safest window for a live call or meeting.
Business hours overlap
AEDT and New Zealand share 6 hours of working-hours overlap (9:00 AM–3:00 PM AEDT), so scheduling a live meeting is straightforward.
