There is no standard 8-to-6 overlap. Someone joins early or late.
Perth and Ottawa live on different parts of the day. With 13 hours between them, standard working hours simply don't meet. Make the most of handoffs — end-of-day in one city becomes start-of-day in the other, so pass work along rather than meeting live. Seasonal note: Ottawa uses daylight saving and Perth doesn't, so double-check the times in your own months — they can move by an hour.

The US to Australia gap runs 14 to 19 hours depending on the month, and someone is always in tomorrow. Exact overlap windows for every US coast, the double-DST trap, and a rotation rule that keeps it fair. -
