Melbourne Business Pulse
- Culture Professional but relaxed. Known for a strong coffee culture and sports-related networking.
- Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
- Pro Tip The best time for calls is 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Australians are generally informal but professional; starting with "How's it going?" is standard. Melbourne is the coffee capital; if you're on a video call, don't be surprised if your contact is in a café.
Sydney Business Pulse
- Culture Relatively relaxed but professional. Early starts are common to maximize daylight.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Due to the significant time difference with Europe and the US, early mornings (8:30 AM - 10:00 AM) are often dedicated to international syncs. For domestic calls, late mornings are best. Be mindful that many Australians start and end their day earlier than their Northern Hemisphere counterparts.
