About Australia Phone Numbers
Australian mobile numbers start with 04, followed by 8 digits. Landlines are formatted as (0X) XXXX XXXX. Mobiles are always 10 digits including the leading 04.
How to Dial Australia Phone Numbers
To call an Australian phone number, the exact format depends on where the call starts. Domestic calls usually keep the leading 0, while international calls to Australia use the +61 country code instead.
- Within Australia: Dial the full national number, including the leading 0 for standard domestic calls.Example:
0412 345 678 - From abroad to Australia: Dial +61 followed by the national number without the leading 0.Example:
+61 412 345 678 - From Australia to other countries: Dial 0011, then the country code, then the full phone number.Example:
0011 1 212 555 0123
