UTC to AEST Time Converter
Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) is currently 10 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). UTC is UTC+0 and AEST is UTC+10. The table below converts every hour of the day between the two, and the call planner shows where working hours line up.
Best Time for a Call
There is no overlap between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM office hours in these two zones. Stretching to early mornings and evenings, the workable window runs from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM in UTC, which is 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM in AEST. One side ends up outside normal hours, so alternating who takes the awkward slot is a fair way to handle recurring calls.
