Time difference between Sydney and Lima

Lima is 15 hours behind Sydney

Sydney, Australia is UTC+10 · Lima, Peru is UTC−5 — on standard time

The gap is not the same all year

Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Sydney goes forward on the first Sunday in October and back on the first Sunday in April and Lima does not change its clocks.

Lima stays put all year while Sydney moves, so a meeting fixed in Lima's calendar shifts by an hour twice a year at Sydney's end.

When they can both be at their desks

Nine-to-five in Sydney and nine-to-five in Lima do not overlap at all. With 15 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.
