AEST – Australian Eastern Standard Time
AEST is UTC+10.
Australian Eastern Standard Time is used in New South Wales, Victoria and the ACT (Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra) in winter, and Queensland (Brisbane) all year.
In summer, places on AEST switch to AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time, UTC+11). People often keep saying “AEST” all year, but strictly it's only correct in the standard-time months.
