A listed telephone prefix may combine a shared country calling code with an area code. It is not a complete phone number.

Languages & native names

Languages listed for Australia in the reference source, with native language names where available. This is not an exhaustive list of the languages spoken or a statement of their legal status.

The small codes are source language tags. A tag such as en-US includes a language and a regional variant; it is different from an ISO country code on its own.

Australia time zones

12 identifiers are listed for AU in IANA zone.tab, release 2026d. Time-zone identifiers describe clock-rule locations, not fixed UTC offsets.

• Australia/Lord_Howe
• Antarctica/Macquarie
• Australia/Hobart
• Australia/Melbourne
• Australia/Sydney
• Australia/Broken_Hill
• Australia/Brisbane
• Australia/Lindeman
• Australia/Adelaide
• Australia/Darwin
• Australia/Perth
• Australia/Eucla

UTC offsets and daylight-saving rules depend on the date and location. Use the time-zone converter to compare local times for a chosen date.

FIFA and IOC values are source references, not confirmation of current membership or event participation. FIPS 10-4 was withdrawn in 2008; legacy FIPS-style values are for interpreting older datasets and must not replace current ISO codes.

Sources & reference notes

The base record is from ListBase.org v2026.08. English and native country names use Annexare Countries, language names use Annexare and runtime display-name data, time zones use IANA 2026d, and the locally hosted flag is from flag-icons.
