AEST to PST Converter
Convert Australian Eastern Time (AEST/AEDT) to Pacific Time (PST/PDT). This page uses Sydney time and Los Angeles time, so it follows daylight saving automatically: pick any date below and the conversion uses the offsets in force on that day.
AEST to PST time difference
The converter above shows the difference for the date and time you choose. Over 2026, the gap works out like this:
- PST is 17 hours behind AESTMost of the year: Apr 5 to Oct 3.
- PST is 19 hours behind AESTJan 1 to Mar 7, Nov 1 to Dec 31.
- PST is 18 hours behind AESTMar 8 to Apr 4, Oct 4 to Oct 31.
The short periods exist because the two regions change their clocks on different dates, so for a few weeks one has moved and the other has not. Double-check any meeting booked in those weeks.
AEST to PST for a working day
Sydney time from 6 AM to 10 PM, converted. The two columns differ because daylight saving changes the gap between winter and summer. Bold times fall between 9 AM and 5 PM in PST.

About these time zones
AEST. This page uses Sydney: AEST (UTC+10) from April to October and AEDT (UTC+11) during the southern summer. Brisbane stays on AEST all year, so it can be an hour behind Sydney.
PST. Pacific Time is PST (UTC-8) in winter and PDT (UTC-7) in summer, on the same US daylight saving dates as Eastern Time. It covers Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver.
Overlap. Meetings starting at 9:00 AM AEST land inside a 9 to 5 working day in both zones in winter and summer.
