Melbourne to San Francisco: Time Difference & Best Time to Meet

Both offices are open during 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM Melbourne time, which is 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM in San Francisco. You get roughly 3 hours of shared time, so aim for the middle of that window to keep the call comfortable for both teams. Watch the date, too: while it's still the workday in Melbourne, San Francisco is already on the previous day.
