Everything you need for CEST to AEDT — the difference, the current times, and how to plan around it.
How does the CEST to AEDT converter work?

How many hours apart are CEST and AEDT?
AEDT is 9 hours ahead of CEST. In everyday terms, once you know the time on one side you just add 9 hours to get the other — so a call between Paris and Sydney is always 9 hours apart.
What time is it in AEDT right now?
Right now the time in Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) is Tuesday, June 30, 2026 · 4:53:59 AM. It ticks every second, so you’re always looking at the live AEDT clock.
What time is it in CEST right now?
And in Central European Summer Time (CEST), it’s currently Monday, June 29, 2026 · 7:53:59 PM. Compare the two and the 9 hours gap is easy to see.
Planning a meeting across CEST and AEDT?
For example, a 9:00 AM CEST meeting takes place at 6:00 PM AEDT. The trick is to aim for a slot that lands inside normal working hours on both sides. Once you’ve found a time, hit Share on the converter to copy a link with the time built in — easy to send to a colleague. Juggling three or more zones? The meeting planner highlights the hours that overlap for everyone.
How does daylight saving affect CEST to AEDT?
The labels CEST and AEDT are fixed offsets, so the result on this page is always exact. Both regions move their clocks for daylight saving on roughly the same weekends, so the 9 hours gap usually holds steady right through the year.
Why can you trust this CEST to AEDT converter?
Every conversion here is calculated from the IANA time zone database — the same source your phone, computer, and browser rely on. Plenty of tools hard-code a single offset, which quietly goes wrong whenever a region changes its rules or flips for daylight saving. We follow the real rules instead, so CEST to AEDT stays accurate for today and for any past or future date you type in.

Why might the real-world CEST–AEDT difference change during the year?
