Australia Country Code: Frequently Asked Questions
Dialling Australia, number formats and calls.
+61 is the country code of Australia; from most countries you dial it as 0061. Every phone number in Australia, mobile or landline, starts with +61 in international format, for example +61 412 345 678.
Dial 011, then 61, then the number without the first 0: (02) 1234 5678 becomes 011 61 2 1234 5678. On a mobile you can also dial +61 2 1234 5678.
Yes. The 0 is only dialled inside Australia. From abroad, (02) 1234 5678 is +61 2 1234 5678.
9 digits after +61, for example +61 412 345 678. Inside Australia the same number is written 0412 345 678.
Save it in your contacts with + and the country code, and leave out the first 0 of the number: +61 412 345 678. WhatsApp needs the full international format.
Not necessarily: +61 numbers belong to people and companies in Australia. If you don't know the caller, don't call back: one-ring scams make you call a line that charges by the minute. Check the number first with our free phone number checker.
