Melbourne is 2 hours ahead of Shanghai. Put the other way round: Shanghai is 2 hours behind Melbourne.
Shanghai is UTC+8 in summer and UTC+8 in winter; Melbourne is UTC+10 and UTC+11.
Working 09:00 to 17:00 in both cities leaves 6 hours in common: 09:00 to 15:00 in Shanghai, which is 11:00 to 17:00 in Melbourne. Those are the hours to aim a call at.
Melbourne changes its clocks for summer and Shanghai does not, so there is no single answer: the gap is 2 hours for the northern summer and 3 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.
