Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time difference between FJT and AEST?
During standard time, Australian Eastern Standard Time is 2 hours behind Fiji Time.
Does Fiji observe Daylight Saving Time?
Fiji officially abolished Daylight Saving Time in 2021, ending a practice it had observed intermittently since 1998. FJT now remains permanently fixed at UTC+12:00 throughout the entire year, with no seasonal clock changes.
Are Fiji Time (FJT) and New Zealand Time (NZST) the same?
FJT and New Zealand Standard Time (NZST) share the exact same UTC+12:00 offset during the Southern Hemisphere winter months, meaning Suva and Auckland run on identical clocks during that period. However, New Zealand shifts to UTC+13:00 during its summer under New Zealand Daylight Time (NZDT), while Fiji stays fixed at UTC+12:00 year-round — placing the two zones one hour apart for roughly half of each year.
Does all of eastern Australia observe Daylight Saving Time?
No — eastern Australia is split on DST. New South Wales (Sydney), Victoria (Melbourne), Tasmania (Hobart), and the ACT (Canberra) advance their clocks to AEDT (UTC+11) each October, while Queensland (Brisbane) opts out entirely and remains on AEST (UTC+10) year-round. This means Sydney and Brisbane run on the same clock for only part of the year.
What is the difference between AEST and AEDT?
AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) is the UTC+10:00 offset observed during the Southern Hemisphere winter months, roughly April through October. AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) is the UTC+11:00 offset applied during the Southern Hemisphere summer when clocks spring forward in October, observed by New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, and the ACT.
