When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Newfoundland Time and Australian Eastern Time don't overlap on the same weekday. Australian Eastern Time is 13 hours ahead of Newfoundland Time.
With some flexibility, there are two workable windows outside standard hours, depending on which side takes the early or late slot:
- 7 AM–8 AM in Newfoundland Time (7 PM–8 PM in Australian Eastern Time) — suggest 7:00 AM Newfoundland Time (7:30 PM Australian Eastern Time).
- 7 PM–8 PM in Newfoundland Time (7 AM–8 AM the next day in Australian Eastern Time) — suggest 7:00 PM Newfoundland Time (7:30 AM Australian Eastern Time).
Either is an early start or late finish for one side, but workable for a one-off meeting.
This window may shift by an hour during daylight saving time.
Public holidays in 2026
National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.

Daylight saving time
Both zones observe daylight saving time, but they transition on different dates.
Newfoundland Time: next transition on Sunday, November 1, 2026.
Australian Eastern Time: next transition on Sunday, October 4, 2026.
Newfoundland Time and Australian Eastern Time are in opposite hemispheres, so their clocks change in opposite directions about six months apart — one springs forward while the other falls back. The offset between them therefore shifts twice a year and can swing by up to two hours across the seasons, more than a typical same-hemisphere pair. Recurring meetings will need re-checking after each transition.
See the daylight saving time page for transition dates across every time zone.
