Time difference between Brisbane and Honolulu
Honolulu is 20 hours behind Brisbane
Brisbane, Australia is UTC+10 · Honolulu, the United States is UTC−10 — on standard time
The gap holds all year
Neither city changes its clocks — Brisbane does not change its clocks and Honolulu does not change its clocks — so 20 hours is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.
When they can both be at their desks
Nine-to-five in Brisbane and nine-to-five in Honolulu do not overlap at all. With 20 hours between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
