Calling Australia: numbers to know
- Mobile numbers start with 04. Drop the 0, so 0412 345 678 becomes +61 412 345 678.
- Landlines use a state area code: 02 for NSW and the ACT, 03 for Victoria and Tasmania, 07 for Queensland, and 08 for South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
- 1300, 13 and 1800 numbers can’t be dialled from overseas. Banks, the ATO and Services Australia publish +61 numbers for international callers.
Australia has three main time zones, and only some states use daylight saving. NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, the ACT and South Australia move their clocks forward in summer. Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory don’t.
