San Francisco follows Pacific Time (UTC-8) in winter and Pacific Daylight Time (UTC-7) from roughly March to early November. Brisbane uses Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) year-round and does not observe daylight saving. This means Brisbane is 18 hours ahead of San Francisco in winter, and 17 hours ahead during San Francisco's daylight saving period.

Visa and entry requirements for Brisbane depend on your nationality, purpose of visit, and length of stay. We recommend checking the latest information with the relevant Australian authorities or your nearest embassy or consulate before you book and again shortly before you travel.
