UTC to ACST converter
ACST is 10.5 hours ahead of UTC right now. Live clocks on both sides, a direct time input, the full 24-hour table with a permalink per hour, and the real daylight-saving state, computed from the IANA tz database on every request, never from a stored offset.
Convert an exact time type it, no sliders
Conversion runs in your browser against the same IANA rules the server uses, so it keeps working offline and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
Daylight saving right now
Australian Central Standard Time
Australia/Adelaide is currently on ACDT (UTC+10:30), its daylight-saving clock. That is not ACST. This page is named for the abbreviation people search for, and tells you the truth about which one is actually in force.
next change: Sun, 4 Apr 2027 02:00 local → ACST (177 days, clocks go back)
ACST is UTC+9:30, one of the handful of half-hour offsets still in daily use. Adelaide moves to ACDT (UTC+10:30) in the southern summer; Darwin stays on ACST.
Coordinated Universal Time
UTC is on UTC (UTC+00:00).
no clock change scheduled: fixed at UTC+00:00
UTC is the reference clock every other offset is quoted against. It has no daylight saving and never shifts.
Best time to call green = 09:00 to 18:00 on both sides
No overlap inside a 09:00 to 18:00 day on both sides. Someone has to take an early or late slot, and the table below shows exactly which hours are least bad.
