Australian Telephone Numbering Plandh
Australia's fixed lines begin with a two digit area code followed by an eight digit local number.
Example: 02 8XXX XXXX. The area code is not required when calling locally.
Australia's mobile numbers use ten digits which all begin with 04, followed by two digits (formerly a mobile network code), and the subscriber's six digit number, always dialled in full.
Example: 0402 XXX XXX
