Why people convert Melbourne to ICT time

Scheduling a call from Melbourne to ICT: a 10:00 AM start in Melbourne lands at 7:00 AM in ICT, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Melbourne and ICT are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM AEST time (9:00 AM–2:00 PM ICT). That is roughly 5 hours of usable overlap.
Watching a live event or market open: Melbourne viewers need 6:00 AM in ICT to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 3:00 AM if the event is anchored to Melbourne.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM AEST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -3h gap is not.
Block 12:00 PM–5:00 PM AEST as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Melbourne and need ICT colleagues present.
Melbourne: Clocks spring forward on Sat, Oct 3, 2026. Re-check this page after that date because the offset changes and so does the -3h gap.
