Common questions
Do I need a plug adapter from Germany to Australia?
Yes. Australia uses Type I sockets, which Germany plugs do not fit, so pack a suitable adapter.
Will my devices work on Australia’s voltage?
Australia runs at 230V, 50Hz. Dual-voltage chargers (most phones and laptops) are fine; single-voltage devices may need a converter.
