Why people convert Melbourne to CLT time
- Scheduling a call from Melbourne to CLT: a 10:00 AM start in Melbourne lands at 8:00 PM in CLT the previous day, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Handling a -14h gap: Melbourne and CLT have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in CLT is 7:00 PM in Melbourne.
- Coordinating a Melbourne-based team with CLT contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM AEST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -14h gap is not.
- With a -14h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Melbourne takes the early slot, the next week CLT does.
- Melbourne: Clocks spring forward on Sat, Oct 3, 2026. Re-check this page after that date because the offset changes and so does the -14h gap.
