Australia Travel Adapters
Type I • 230 volts • 50 Hz
Australia uses mains electricity supplied at 230 volts at 50 Hz. The standard Australian plug and outlet is Type I, with two angled flat power pins and a third vertical grounding pin on grounded plugs.
Travelers from the U.S. using Type A or Type B plugs need a US-to-Australia Type I travel adapter. A travel adapter changes the plug shape only and does not convert voltage. Devices marked for 100–240V input can be used on Australia's 230V supply with the correct adapter; equipment that is not dual voltage requires an appropriate voltage converter.

Australia uses the Type I plug and outlet system standardized under AS/NZS 3112. Grounded Type I plugs have two angled flat power pins and a third vertical grounding pin; ungrounded Type I plugs use the two angled power pins only.
Australian wall outlets are normally switched, so turn the outlet on after plugging in your adapter.
