Australia Phone Number Format & Country Code +61
Australian mobile numbers are 10 digits locally starting with 04. The trunk prefix 0 is dropped for international dialing, leaving 9 digits after the country code. To dial a Australia number internationally, replace the local trunk prefix with +61. For example, 0412 345 678 becomes +61 412 345 678. NumSwift converts between these formats automatically, validating each number against Australia's numbering plan.
