Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time difference between AWST and AEDT?
During standard time, Australian Eastern Daylight Time is 3 hours ahead of Australian Western Standard Time.
Does Perth observe Daylight Saving Time?
Perth and the rest of Western Australia do not observe Daylight Saving Time. Western Australians have voted against DST in multiple state referendums — most recently in 2009 — and AWST remains permanently fixed at UTC+08:00 throughout the year.
Are AWST and China Standard Time the same?
AWST and China Standard Time (CST) share the exact same UTC+08:00 offset, meaning Perth and Beijing operate on an identical clock. The same applies to Singapore Time (SGT) and Malaysia Time (MYT) — all three are perfectly synchronized with AWST, eliminating offset calculations entirely for the resource and commodity trade flows that connect Perth to these major Asian markets.
When does AEDT start and end?
AEDT begins on the first Sunday in October at 02:00 local time, when clocks spring forward one hour from AEST (UTC+10) to AEDT (UTC+11). It ends on the first Sunday in April at 03:00 local time, when clocks fall back to AEST. In 2026, AEDT starts on October 4 and ends on April 5 — following the Southern Hemisphere summer calendar, which runs opposite to DST schedules in Europe and North America.
Is Brisbane on AEDT?
No — Queensland, including Brisbane, does not observe Daylight Saving Time and remains on AEST (UTC+10) year-round. During the AEDT period from October through April, Sydney and Melbourne advance to UTC+11 while Brisbane stays at UTC+10, creating a one-hour gap between cities that share nearly the same longitude and are otherwise in the same time zone for the other six months of the year.
