Brisbane is 9 hours ahead of London. That figure is current — it changes by an hour when either city starts or ends daylight saving, and the exact dates are listed above.

Does Brisbane observe daylight saving time?

No. Brisbane stays on UTC+10 all year, so its clocks never move.

It is 21:00 in Brisbane, on the same calendar date. That holds for the current offsets; it shifts by an hour around the daylight saving dates listed above.

Which time zones do London and Brisbane use?

London uses Europe/London, currently UTC+1 (BST), and Brisbane uses Australia/Brisbane, currently UTC+10 (AEST). Those identifiers are the ones to use in code — abbreviations are ambiguous and offsets change.
