// Calling Etiquette
Australia Business Calling Etiquette
Cultural context for calling contacts in Australia — know what to expect before you dial.
Network & carriers
Australia's numbering is regulated by the ACMA, with the entire continent's landlines covered by just four area codes — unusually few for its geographic size.
Numbering format
Australian landline numbers use one of only four area codes (02, 03, 07, 08), each spanning entire states or groups of states.
Calling culture
Australian business communication tends to be informal and direct compared to many other markets — first names are used quickly, even on an initial call.
Good to know
A single Australian area code like 02 (New South Wales and the ACT) can span distances greater than the width of many entire countries.
