When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Chile Time and Australian Western Time don't overlap on the same weekday. Australian Western Time is 12 hours ahead of Chile Time.
With some flexibility, there are two workable windows outside standard hours, depending on which side takes the early or late slot:
- 7 AM–8 AM in Chile Time (7 PM–8 PM in Australian Western Time) — suggest 7:00 AM Chile Time (7:00 PM Australian Western Time).
- 7 PM–8 PM in Chile Time (7 AM–8 AM the next day in Australian Western Time) — suggest 7:00 PM Chile Time (7:00 AM Australian Western Time).
Either is an early start or late finish for one side, but workable for a one-off meeting.
This window may shift by an hour during daylight saving time.
Public holidays in 2026
National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
