Why people convert Dubai to Perth time

Scheduling a call from Dubai to Perth: a 10:00 AM start in Dubai lands at 2:00 PM in Perth, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Dubai and Perth are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM GST time (1:00 PM–5:00 PM AWST). That is roughly 4 hours of usable overlap.
Booking travel or deliveries: tracking Perth local time against Dubai keeps pickup windows and arrival estimates honest across the +4h offset.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM GST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +4h gap is not.
Block 9:00 AM–1:00 PM GST as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from Dubai and need Perth colleagues present.
