How to Call Australia from the UK

An easy walkthrough for dialing Australia internationally from the UK, or straight from your browser with Intercalling at low per minute rates.

1

UK Exit Code

Press 00, or just the + sign on mobiles and VoIP lines. The + is the simplest option when you call from a browser.

2

Australia Code (+61)

Add +61 next to connect through to Australia from the UK.

3

Drop the Leading Zero

Strip the first zero off the area or mobile code. So 02 turns into 2, and 0412 turns into 412. Finish by entering the rest of the digits.

Dialing Examples

An international call to Australia is just three parts: the country code, the area or mobile code minus its leading zero, then the subscriber number.

Landline (Sydney)
+61 2 9123 4567
Mobile (Melbourne)
+61 412 345 678
Written locally as 0412 345 678. Remove the 0 when calling from overseas.

Calling Australia from United Kingdom: what to know

Australia answers on the country code +61, with the capital in Canberra and most business concentrated around Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. The working language for business is English, and local offices generally keep hours of 9:00 to 17:00 in each state's local time. Lunch is short (30 min) compared to southern-European norms.

From United Kingdom the outbound access code is 00, so a manual dial reads 00 then +61 then the local number. Intercalling removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between United Kingdom and Australia.

Most mobiles in Australia sit on operators such as Telstra, Optus, TPG/Vodafone. Australian mobiles are 10 digits starting with 04; landlines have 2-digit state codes (02 NSW, 03 VIC, 07 QLD, 08 WA/SA/NT).

Australia runs on UTC plus 10, and it shifts for daylight saving, so confirm the current difference before an early or late call.
