About converting AEST to GST

Australian Eastern Time (Sydney) and Gulf Time (Dubai) (Dubai) are in different time zones, so a meeting, call or stream that's convenient in one may be early or late in the other. The clocks above update live and account for daylight saving automatically, so the time difference you see is the real one for today — not a fixed number that goes stale twice a year.

To plan across the two, type a time into the AEST box (or tap a quick preset) and read the GST equivalent, including a "next day" or "previous day" note when the conversion crosses midnight. For any other pair of zones or cities, use the full timezone converter.

AEST vs GST: the time difference through the year

The gap between AEST and GST changes during the year because only one of them uses daylight saving.
