Time difference between Brisbane and Auckland

Auckland is 3 hours ahead of Brisbane

Brisbane, Australia is UTC+10 · Auckland, New Zealand is UTC+12 — on standard time

The gap is not the same all year

Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Brisbane does not change its clocks and Auckland goes forward on the last Sunday in September and back on the first Sunday in April.
