Toll-free and premium numbers in Australia
Toll-free numbers in Australia start with 01800 or 01802 when dialled inside Australia (1800 or 1802 after +61 from abroad) and have 7 or 10 digits after the country code. Premium-rate numbers start with 01900–01902 or 01906. Example: 1800 123 456, or +611800123456 in E.164.

What each type means for the caller
- Toll-free: 01800 or 01802
- Free to the caller, usually only from inside the country; the business that owns the number pays for the call. 7 or 10 digits after +61.
- Premium rate: 01900–01902 or 01906
- Charged above a normal call at a rate set by the service, with part of the charge going to the service provider. 10 digits after +61.
- Shared cost: 013
- The caller pays part of the cost and the owner pays the rest, so the price sits between a free and a normal call. 6, 8, 10 or 12 digits after +61.
- VoIP: 01451–01453 or 01471
- Numbers issued for internet telephony services rather than a fixed line or a mobile network. 9 digits after +61.
Writing and dialling a Australia toll-free number
Inside Australia, dial the number with its leading 0. From abroad or in E.164, drop the 0 and put +61 in front: 1800 123 456 becomes +611800123456. Google's data marks the toll-free range as not diallable from abroad, so these numbers usually only work from inside Australia.
Toll-free and premium numbers in a phone list
In a lead or customer list, a toll-free number usually reaches a company line rather than a person, and a premium-rate number costs you money to call. The free toll-free number checker flags them in a pasted list or CSV, and the Australia phone number format page covers mobiles and landlines.

Common questions
- What is the toll-free prefix in Australia?
- Australia toll-free numbers start with 01800 or 01802 at home, written +61 1800 or 1802 internationally. Every valid toll-free number starts that way, though not every number with those digits is in service.
- How many digits is a Australia toll-free number?
- 7 or 10 digits after the country code +61, plus the trunk prefix 0 when dialled inside Australia.
- Can I call a Australia toll-free number from abroad?
- Google's numbering-plan data marks Australia's toll-free range as not diallable from abroad, so expect the call to fail from outside Australia.
- How do I spot a premium-rate number in Australia?
- By its first digits: 01900–01902 or 01906. Shared-cost numbers start with 013. The prefix tells you the range is charged; the actual price is set per service.

- Ranges, lengths and examples: Google libphonenumber numbering-plan data (libphonenumber-js 1.13.15), the data our validator uses.
- Official plan: ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan for Australia. The regulator’s filing is the authority when the two disagree.
The numbering plan only knows what a range was issued for.
In the US and Canada mobiles and landlines share the same prefixes, and anywhere a number can be ported or reassigned the range stops telling the whole story. A live carrier lookup asks the network data instead, which is what Pro + Phone ($49.99/mo) adds.
