Columns are hours of the day in UTC (UTC). Each row shows the local working-hours state in that zone for the same moment in time.
No overlap during strict 9-5 working hours; some flexibility needed.
If both sides are willing to extend to 8am-7pm, the available window is 08:00–08:00 UTC (18:00–18:00 AEDT).

What are the current UTC offsets for UTC and AEDT?+
UTC is UTC+00:00 (UTC) and AEDT is UTC+10:00 (GMT+10). Both offsets shift by one hour when the corresponding region enters or exits daylight saving time, so the live values on this page are the source of truth.
