Australian time zones:

AEST – Australian Eastern Standard Time

Time zone offset: UTC + 10 hours

AEST is 10 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)

Note that some places observe daylight saving time/summer time during summer, and are therefore using AEDT instead in the summer. See below for details.

Time zone abbreviation: AEST

Full name is Australian Eastern Standard Time

Email time zone indicator: +1000

An email sent from someone in the AEST time zone will have the time zone listed as "+1000" in the headers of the email. (However, "+1000" does not have to be in AEST, as other time zones could have the same UTC offset).

For actual dates DST might be observed, look at the examples below
