Green rows indicate hours where both zones fall within 09:00–17:00 business hours. Abbreviations use their fixed UTC offsets. For a city that observes daylight saving, use the date-aware meeting planner.
Best Meeting Times: EST and AEST
Standard 09:00–17:00 business hours do not overlap between Eastern Time and Australian Eastern Time.
With a 15-hour difference, real-time overlap during standard business hours is not possible. The most common approach is for one team to hold a standing early-morning call (07:00–09:00 local) while the other stays late (17:00–19:00 local). Rotate the sacrifice quarterly to distribute meeting burden fairly.
For zero-overlap corridors, we recommend the Meeting Planner's rotation-fairness feature to distribute meeting burden equitably.
Working Across EST and AEST
Daylight Saving Time: EST and AEST
The US observes Daylight Saving Time. Clocks spring forward 1 hour on the second Sunday in March and fall back on the first Sunday in November. During EDT (UTC−4), the gap to IST narrows by 1 hour.
Australia's DST runs opposite to the northern hemisphere. AEST (UTC+10) moves to AEDT (UTC+11) on the first Sunday in October and reverts in April. Queensland, unlike NSW and Victoria, does not observe DST and stays on AEST year-round.
