Sydney and Washington, D.C. Time Difference

Best time for family calls

Scheduling a family call between Sydney and Washington, D.C. takes a little planning. Sydney is 14 hours ahead of Washington, D.C., which means there's no window that feels comfortable for everyone at the same time. The most manageable option is early evening in Sydney — around 7 pm — which puts Washington, D.C. at 5 am. Someone will need to stretch a little, but at least no one's setting a middle-of-the-night alarm. Weekends tend to give the most flexibility if you can agree on a time in advance.
