Time zone and UTC offset in Sydney
Sydney follows the Australia/Sydney time zone, abbreviated AEST. Right now its offset from Coordinated Universal Time is UTC+10.
Standard time is in effect at the moment, and Sydney does observe daylight saving time. The next change comes on Sunday, October 4, 2026 at 02:00: clocks go forward 1 hour, so at 02:00 the clock jumps to 03:00 and the offset becomes UTC+11. From that day the difference from Brasília is 14 hours ahead. The change after that is on Sunday, April 4, 2027 at 03:00.
Time difference between Brasília and Sydney
To convert, take Brasília time and add 13 hours; when the sum passes midnight, the date in Sydney is already the next day. The table uses today's offsets.
Going the other way, local noon in Sydney is 23:00 (previous day) in Brasília, and local midnight is 11:00 (previous day) in Brasília. Because Sydney is ahead, its calendar date is one day later than in Brasília from 11:00 until midnight Brasília time. Keep this in mind for deadlines, flights and anything scheduled around the start or end of a day.

Best time to call Sydney from Brazil
With a difference of 13 hours, the 9:00 to 18:00 working days do not overlap at all. The least inconvenient slot is around 18:00 in Brasília, which is 07:00 (next day) in Sydney: one side will be early or late, so agree in writing who takes the awkward hour. Messages and recorded updates work better than live calls here.
