Short answer: mostly yes, but check the label. Australia runs at 230 V, 50 Hz, so most “220 V” devices rated 220–240 V at 50/60 Hz will be perfectly fine here. Strict 220 V-only or 60 Hz-only gear can misbehave—motors run hot or slow, clocks drift, and power supplies may sulk. You’ll also need the Aussie Type I plug (use a proper adapter; get an electrician for high‑wattage appliances). If the plate says 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz, you’re golden; if it doesn’t, assume nothing. When in doubt, check the manual or ask a sparky before you let the magic smoke out.
