Calling Australia: your questions
Reviewed 28 October 2026.
What is the country code for Australia?
Australia's country code is +61. Drop the first 0 of the Australian number: 0412 345 678 becomes +61 412 345 678, and 02 for Sydney becomes +61 2.
How do I call Australia from the UK?
Dial 00 61 and leave off the leading 0: 00 61 2 XXXX XXXX for Sydney, 00 61 412 345 678 for a mobile. A UK mobile or softphone also takes +61 412 345 678.
How do I call Australia from the USA?
Dial 011 61, then the number minus its 0: 011 61 3 XXXX XXXX for Melbourne. On a cell phone, +61 3 works the same. Sydney sits 14 to 16 hours ahead of New York.
How do I call Australia from Canada?
Canada shares the 011 exit code with the US, so Brisbane is 011 61 7 XXXX XXXX, or +61 7 on a cell phone.
How do I call Australia from Ireland, India or New Zealand?
All three dial out with 00: 00 61 8 XXXX XXXX reaches Perth or Adelaide. Typed on a phone, +61 8 does the same.
What does +61 (0) mean on an Australian number?
The (0) is only for callers already in Australia. From overseas you skip it: +61 (0)2 XXXX XXXX turns into +61 2 XXXX XXXX. Paste it into the number box above and the (0) is gone.
How do I call an Australian mobile?
Australian mobiles start 04. Drop the 0 and dial +61 4XX XXX XXX. On our list an 04 mobile is charged exactly like a Sydney or Perth landline.
How much does it cost to call Australia?
Every Australian number, 04 mobile or state landline, is $0.0213 a minute with us, counted by the second and free to connect. Half an hour comes to $0.64, and $20 buys 938 minutes.
Do I need an Australia calling card?
No. Card-style services for Australia often add a connection charge to each call; we charge none. Dial +61 and the number minus its 0 on a softphone or desk phone, at $0.0213 a minute, billed by the second.
Can I call a 1300 or 1800 number from abroad?
Usually not. 13, 1300 and 1800 numbers are designed for callers inside Australia, and most turn away overseas callers. Look for the company's ordinary 02, 03, 07 or 08 number.
What time is it in Australia?
Australia has three main time zones and not every state changes its clocks. From October to April, Sydney, Melbourne and Hobart are on UTC+11, Adelaide UTC+10:30, Brisbane UTC+10, Darwin UTC+9:30 and Perth UTC+8. The call window above works out the hours you are both awake.
How do I call Norfolk Island?
Norfolk Island is not on +61: it uses +672 3 and the local number. It is priced on its own on our list: $0.1025 a minute, billed per minute.
Will LinkedSIP work as a trunk for business calls to Australia?
Yes. Give your 3CX, FreePBX, Asterisk or Yeastar system a LinkedSIP trunk for +61 calls. An office in Australia should keep a local line too, since 000 calls are not carried.
Every Australian phone, one rate. 938 minutes for $20.
A Sydney landline is +61 2 and a mobile +61 4: that is the whole trick once you have signed up with an email and added $20 in crypto. How sign-up and top-ups work.
