Time difference between Perth and Auckland
Auckland is 5 hours ahead of Perth
Perth, Australia is UTC+8 · 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 Perth does not change its clocks and Auckland goes forward on the last Sunday in September and back on the first Sunday in April.
| Perth / Auckland clocks | Difference | How long |
|---|---|---|
| standard / summer | 5 hours ahead | about 27 weeks |
| standard / standard | 4 hours ahead | about 25 weeks |
Perth stays put all year while Auckland moves, so the gap changes twice a year from Auckland's side alone. A recurring meeting set in Perth's calendar will drift by an hour without anyone touching it.
