Melbourne is 17 hours ahead of Seattle. Put the other way round: Seattle is 17 hours behind Melbourne.
Seattle is UTC-7 in summer and UTC-8 in winter; Melbourne is UTC+10 and UTC+11.
A nine-to-five in Seattle and a nine-to-five in Melbourne do not overlap at all. Somebody has to move: the nearest workable slots are early morning in one city or late evening in the other, which is the kind of thing the planner is for.
Seattle changes its clocks for summer and Melbourne does not, so there is no single answer: the gap is 17 hours for the northern summer and 19 hours for the rest of the year.

This page covers one pair. TimeGap takes a list: add every city you care about, drag one marker, and every row reads the same instant on its own clock. It marks the hours you would actually take a call, finds the window where the most people are reachable, flags public holidays, and puts the time you pick straight into Outlook or Google Calendar.
