When the clocks change
The gap moves when either city changes its clocks. The next twelve months:
| Dates | Sydney is | Both at work (Sydney time) | Easiest (Sydney / Doha) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Now to April 4, 2027 | 8 hours ahead | None | 4:30 PM / 8:30 AM |
| April 4, 2027 to October 3, 2027 clocks in Sydney go back | 7 hours ahead | 4 PM–5 PM (1 hour) | 4 PM / 9 AM |
| October 3, 2027 onward clocks in Sydney go forward | 8 hours ahead | None | 4:30 PM / 8:30 AM |
Doha keeps the same clock as Istanbul.
Which days work
Doha works Sunday to Thursday and Sydney works Monday to Friday, so the days both are at work are Monday to Thursday. A Friday call lands on Doha's weekend, and a Sunday one on Sydney's.
