What are the best times to schedule meetings between AEDT and CET?

Scheduling meetings between AEDT and CET is difficult. The recommended overlap window is 19:00–20:00 AEDT (09:00–10:00 CET). Recommended time: 19:00 AEDT / 09:00 CET.

Eastern Australia and continental Europe sit 10 hours apart in standard periods, but their inverted DST schedules—Australia springs forward in October, Europe in March—cause the offset to shift between 9 and 11 hours across the year. Sydney-based teams working with Frankfurt or Berlin typically rely on late-afternoon AEDT windows (which land before 9:00 CET) or asynchronous handoffs for investment banking, fund management, and global operations coordination.

How Time Zone Conversion Works

Time zone conversion works by comparing the UTC offset of one location to another. Every city or region is measured relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which acts as the global reference point for civil time.

CET is 10 hours behind AEDT (standard time).

Daylight Saving Time: Both AEDT and CET observe DST, but on opposite-hemisphere schedules. When one springs forward, the other falls back — so the offset shifts four times per year instead of the usual two.

AEDT is the daylight-saving designation used in southeastern Australia; Queensland remains on AEST (UTC+10) year-round and is not represented by this code. Two Australian territories have unusual DST offsets: Lord Howe Island (NSW) uses UTC+10:30 in winter and UTC+11 in summer — the only jurisdiction in the world with a 30-minute DST shift; Norfolk Island uses UTC+11 in winter and UTC+12 in summer, following the same transition dates as eastern states.
