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.
AEST is 2 hours behind NZST (standard time).
Daylight Saving Time: NZST observes DST; AEST does not. The offset between them shifts by 1 hour twice a year — in spring and autumn — when NZST changes its clocks.

New Zealand (Pacific/Auckland) transitions between NZST (UTC+12, winter) and NZDT (UTC+13, summer). NZDT is also represented as a separate record covering the daylight-time state specifically. Chatham Islands use separate offsets (UTC+12:45 / UTC+13:45) and are not included here.
AEST · Eastern Australia Time
Standard offset +10:00
Eastern Australia Time remains on a constant standard offset for the year.
This record represents the year-round UTC+10 designation used in Queensland, which does not observe DST. NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, and ACT use AEST as the winter half of a cycle that transitions to AEDT (UTC+11) in summer — see the AEDT record for those DST dates and rules.
