Getting a Australian virtual phone number for your business
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane: Australia is an English-speaking market where a +61 number inspires more trust than a call from abroad. It also lets your prospects call you back on a number they recognise.
Landline and mobile numbers follow very different rules. For a landline, the company’s address must be in Australia, and the application is one of the most complete on the list: a long-form ASIC extract, proof of address, ABN or ACN, a website and the authorised representative’s identity.
For a +61 4 mobile number, the address can be anywhere in the world: a trade register extract from your own country and proof of address are enough. It is the simplest route for a company with no presence in Australia.

What you need to know
ABN and ACN
The ACN (Australian Company Number, 9 digits) is issued by ASIC, the companies regulator, on registration. The ABN (Australian Business Number, 11 digits) is recorded in the Australian Business Register; for a company, it is often the ACN with 2 extra digits in front.
The number’s charging district
Every Australian landline number belongs to a charging district. If it differs from where you are based, your calls are billed as if they were made from that district, and the number may not be portable to another provider.
Regulated calling hours
The ACMA telemarketing standard applies to calls to all Australian numbers, whether or not they are on the Do Not Call Register: 9am to 8pm on weekdays, 9am to 5pm on Saturdays, never on Sundays or national public holidays, unless the person called agrees otherwise.
