Frequently asked questions
What is the time difference between São Paulo and Melbourne?
São Paulo is 14 hours behind of Melbourne: UTC-3 versus UTC+11. Both figures include any daylight saving currently in force.
What is the best time to call from São Paulo to Melbourne?
There is no hour that is comfortable for both. If the meeting is unavoidable, the least-bad options are the edges of each side's day — late morning in São Paulo or early morning in Melbourne — and the burden should be explicit rather than assumed.
Is there any way to make São Paulo–Melbourne meetings work?
Not through scheduling. With no overlap, the workable options are async written handoffs, recorded updates, or splitting coverage into two regional pods so that each pod works its own daylight hours.
