Time-zone overlap, honestly
Pakistan is on UTC+5 and does not observe daylight saving time. Australian Eastern time is UTC+10 (AEST), or UTC+11 during daylight saving (AEDT), so Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane are five to six hours ahead.
| Your time (AEST) | Pakistan time |
|---|---|
| 9:00 am | 4:00 am |
| 1:00 pm | 8:00 am |
| 5:00 pm | 12:00 pm |
- Australian afternoons overlap with the Pakistan working morning, which is the natural shared window.
- Australian mornings are very early in Pakistan, so they are usually covered by written handovers rather than live meetings.
- Perth-based teams (UTC+8) are only three hours ahead, which gives a longer shared day.
We agree overlap hours for each role before work starts.
Communication
- English as the working language
- Slack or Microsoft Teams, plus your project tools
- Daily written updates on progress, next steps and blockers
- Video calls during agreed overlap hours
Contracts, IP and data security
Contract terms, including intellectual property ownership, confidentiality and notice periods, are agreed in the contract before work begins. We can sign NDAs and follow your security policies. Team members typically work inside your repositories, cloud accounts and tools, with access you control and can revoke. Ask us about trial and replacement options when we discuss your role.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Australian businesses hire developers from MechPlan?
Yes. MechPlan provides dedicated developers and specialist AI virtual assistants to Australian businesses, working remotely as part of the client's team. Talent is based mainly at our delivery office in Islamabad, Pakistan, with company headquarters in Dubai. Roles include React, Node.js, Python and AI engineers, mobile developers, WordPress and Shopify developers, QA, UI/UX designers and AI VAs.
What time-zone overlap is there with Australia?
Pakistan is UTC+5, while Australian Eastern time is UTC+10, or UTC+11 during daylight saving. That makes Sydney and Melbourne five to six hours ahead, so a normal Pakistan working morning overlaps with Australian afternoons. Australian mornings fall very early in Pakistan, so we agree overlap hours for each role rather than promising full Australian business-hours coverage.
How will a remote developer communicate with my Australian team?
MechPlan developers and VAs communicate in English using your existing tools, such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, Jira or Trello. They join stand-ups or check-ins during agreed overlap hours, typically in your afternoon, and post daily written updates on progress, plans and blockers. Your team can review work in the morning and discuss it during the afternoon overlap.
Who owns the intellectual property created for my business?
Intellectual property ownership is agreed in the contract before work begins. Australian clients typically expect to own the code, designs and other work created for them, and we put the agreed terms in writing. MechPlan can sign NDAs and follow your security policies, and team members usually work in your repositories and accounts so your work stays under your control.
Do you offer a trial period or replacement if a hire is not a good fit?
Ask us about trial and replacement options when you discuss your role. Terms depend on the role and engagement, so we confirm them in writing in the contract rather than offering a standard promise. In every case you interview candidates before they join, and we check in regularly so any concerns about fit can be raised and handled early.
