What is the voltage of power points in Tasmania?

Electricity in Australia is 220-240V AC, 50 Hz. Plugs have three flat pins, so many overseas visitors will need a socket converter, which can be bought from camping shops or electrical stores for approximately AUD8-10.

If you have a digital camera, laptop computer or other electrical equipment that runs off a battery charger, check the back of the charger to ascertain the input range. As long as it is within the 220-240V range, a socket converter is all you will need. If it is outside this range, you will have to buy a transformer to increase or decrease the Australian voltage as necessary.
