Standard time zone
The Northern Territory’s geographical location provides a unique time zone advantage. Its cultural similarity with Asia and its American/European business environment make it a perfect base to bridge Asian and western locations.
The Northern Territory is in the central time zone, 9.5 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time and is within a 2 hour time zone of major Asian cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, Manila and Tokyo. This allows business communication to be undertaken on a same day basis.
The Northern Territory time zone varies from 30–90 minutes with other Australian capital cities.
