Best overlap: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Sydney is 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Perth.
Book within 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM Sydney time (8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Perth) and both teams will be at work. That's a roomy 8 hours of common time each day, so finding a slot that suits everyone is rarely a problem. Daylight saving complicates things slightly: Sydney observes it, Perth doesn't, so the difference flexes by an hour part of the year.
