Mexico City is 16 hours behind Melbourne
Melbourne, Australia is UTC+10 · Mexico City, Mexico is UTC−6 — on standard time
The gap is not the same all year

| Melbourne / Mexico City clocks | Difference | How long |
|---|---|---|
| standard / standard | 16 hours behind | about 26 weeks |
| summer / standard | 17 hours behind | about 26 weeks |

When they can both be at their desks
Nine-to-five in Melbourne and nine-to-five in Mexico City do not overlap at all. With 16 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.
