Fax is still used across a range of Australian industries. Government departments — including the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), Medicare, and Centrelink — accept fax for lodging forms and supporting documents. Hospitals, medical practices, law firms, and real estate agencies also rely on fax for time-sensitive paperwork where a signed, printed document is expected.

If you need to send a document to an Australian organization and they provide a fax number, it is usually the most direct way to get a signed or official document into their hands without mailing a physical copy.

• The Australian fax number — Australia's country code is +61. A typical number looks like +61 2 1234 5678 (Sydney) or +61 3 1234 5678 (Melbourne). Drop the leading zero from the area code when dialing internationally.

• Time zones — Australia spans three time zones: AEST (UTC+10) for the east coast, ACST (UTC+9:30) for the center, and AWST (UTC+8) for the west. Daylight saving applies in some states between October and April. Faxes sent outside business hours will queue at the receiving machine.

• Area codes matter — if an organization gives you a geographic fax number starting with 02, 03, 07, or 08, drop the leading zero when entering it into unofax (e.g. enter 2 1234 5678 for a Sydney 02 number). The +61 country code is added automatically.
