Convert a specific time from EET to AEST
Pick any time and date to convert it both ways. The conversion runs in your browser against the real zone rules, so a date inside a daylight saving period gets that period's offset rather than today's.

Does daylight saving change EET to AEST?
Eastern European Time is currently on EEST and changes next on Sunday, October 25, 2026, when the clock falls back from 3:59 am to 3:00 am and the offset moves from UTC+3 to UTC+2.
Australian Eastern Time is currently on AEST and changes next on Sunday, October 4, 2026, when the clock jumps forward from 1:59 am to 3:00 am and the offset moves from UTC+10 to UTC+11.
Because the two sides do not move together, the answer to this conversion changes during the year. The United States changes on the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in November, while the United Kingdom and European Union change on the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October. Those dates are weeks apart, which opens a window each spring and autumn where the usual gap is an hour out. The table above is built for today, not for an average day.
Is EET ahead of or behind AEST?
EET is behind AEST by 7 hours: when it is 12:00 pm in Eastern European, it is 7:00 pm in Australian Eastern. One wrinkle worth knowing: EET and EEST are two names for the same zone, not two zones. Eastern European Time reads EET in winter and EEST in summer. When somebody types "eet to aest" they nearly always mean the zone rather than the literal winter offset, so this page resolves EET to Europe/Athens and AEST to Australia/Sydney and applies whichever offset is genuinely in force on the day.
Eastern European Time covers Athens, Helsinki, Bucharest and Kyiv. Australian Eastern Time covers Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra, where summer falls in December. The identifiers behind them are Europe/Athens and Australia/Sydney, which is what any calendar or scheduling system should be storing rather than a fixed number of hours.
