Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Rome is 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Brisbane.
Shoot for 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Rome; your Brisbane colleagues will see that as 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Overlap is at a premium — roughly 2 hours — so claim 8:00 AM in Rome (4:00 PM in Brisbane) for recurring calls and keep them on time. Don't be caught out by clock changes — Rome observes daylight saving and Brisbane doesn't, so the offset varies by an hour through the year.
