AEDT stands for Australian Eastern Daylight Time, a time zone abbreviation.
Summer time of New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and the ACT, UTC+11, from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April. Sydney's New Year's Eve fireworks go off at midnight AEDT, 13:00 UTC on December 31.
Example: Ticket sales open at 9 a.m. AEDT on Monday.
Usage notes
Because the seasons are reversed, Australian daylight time spans the Northern Hemisphere winter, so the gap between Sydney and London varies from 9 to 11 hours over the year. Tasmania was the first state to adopt daylight saving, in 1967.
