Australia Travel Adapters
Type I • 230 volts • 50 Hz
Australia is a large country and continent located in the Southern Hemisphere between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It includes the mainland and the island state of Tasmania, along with numerous smaller islands. The capital city is Canberra, while Sydney and Melbourne are the largest metropolitan areas. The national currency is the Australian dollar.
Australia uses a standardized national electrical system with mains electricity supplied at about 230 volts at 50 Hz. Wall outlets use the angled flat-pin design known as Type I sockets. Travelers from regions that use different plug types should bring a compatible travel adapter. Visitors from 120-volt countries should confirm that their devices are labeled 100–240V before plugging in, or use an appropriate voltage converter.

Plug types are listed because they are encountered in at least some installations. Presence may be partial, legacy, mixed, or situational. A travel adapter, also spelled travel adaptor, changes plug fit only; a voltage converter, sometimes searched as a voltage convertor, is needed only for devices that are not dual voltage. No plug type is excluded due to limited or declining use.
