Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM in Ho Chi Minh City is 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Sydney.
Keep meetings inside 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM in Ho Chi Minh City — that maps to 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Sydney. Sydney is 3 hours ahead of Ho Chi Minh City, but the generous 7-hour window means both teams can meet well within their normal day. These times hold for most of the year, but Sydney's daylight saving (which Ho Chi Minh City doesn't use) shifts them by an hour twice annually.
