Seoul to Perth Meeting Time & Timezone Overlap
Anyone running a project across Seoul and Perth eventually arrives at the same constraint: the 1-hour offset between Asia/Seoul and Australia/Perth. With 8 hours of overlap inside both cities' standard business day, daily standups, pair work, and live reviews are realistic without anyone working out of hours. Use the table below to see exactly which hours line up, which ones are partial-overlap, and when daylight-saving transitions move the window in 2026.
Seoul–Perth working-hour overlap window
The shared working window is 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM in Seoul (Asia/Seoul), which lines up with 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM in Perth (Australia/Perth).
For recurring meetings the most attendance-friendly start time is 10:00 AM Seoul time. Booking inside the shared window means neither side has to take the call before breakfast or after dinner.

Daylight saving advisory
Perth observes daylight saving time; Seoul does not. The effective time difference between the two cities therefore shifts by one hour twice a year. In 2026, the change dates that matter for this pair are:
- Spring shift in Perth — last Sunday of March (Europe) or second Sunday of March (North America)
- Autumn shift in Perth — last Sunday of October (Europe) or first Sunday of November (North America)
If you book a recurring meeting that already sits at the edge of the overlap window, expect it to drop out for roughly four weeks each spring and autumn when the windows realign.
Business-hours context for Seoul and Perth
Standard business hours in Seoul run 9:00–18:00 local time, with the weekend on Saturday and Sunday. In Perth, standard hours are 9:00–17:00 with the weekend on Saturday and Sunday.
Both cities share Saturday–Sunday as the weekend, so the only constraint is the time-of-day overlap.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the time difference between Seoul and Perth?
- Perth is 1 hours behind of Seoul. The exact gap can shift by one hour during daylight-saving transitions in either city, so check the live overlap chart above before locking in a recurring meeting.
- What is the best time to schedule a meeting between Seoul and Perth?
- The cleanest windows usually fall in Seoul's late afternoon, which lines up with Perth's morning. The interactive chart highlights every overlapping work hour in green so you can pick a slot that respects both teams' core hours.
- Does daylight saving affect Seoul ↔ Perth meetings?
- Yes — Seoul and Perth do not always change clocks on the same date, so the gap can briefly widen or shrink by one hour each spring and autumn. Anchor your recurring invite to one city's timezone so the other side absorbs the shift.
- How do I avoid scheduling meetings outside work hours in Seoul or Perth?
- Stick to slots highlighted in green on the overlap chart — those are hours when both cities are inside a normal 9 AM to 6 PM workday. If your only overlap is one hour, rotate that slot weekly so the same team is not always the one starting early.
