SRPFMO 5 – DELEGATE INFORMATION

Electrical plugs When bringing your appliances to Australia, you may need these 2 devices:  Voltage Converter - (a device that transforms the voltage from the power outlet into one your appliance can use).  Power Adapter - (a device that allows you to plug your device into an Australia power outlet). Read below to see which ones you need. Voltage Converters Mains voltage in Australia is 230V 50Hz. Travellers from most nations in Asia, Africa and Europe should have appliances that work on the same mains voltage as Australia - therefore you will not need a voltage converter. Notable exceptions to this are Japan, USA and Canada which uses 100/120V 50/60Hz. If your country does not use appliances within the 230V 50Hz mains voltage range, you will need to purchase a voltage converter. This will transform the voltage from the power outlet into one your appliance can use. You will also need a power adapter (see below). Note: Some appliances run on a variety of mains voltages. Your appliance should be marked with this information or mentioned in the product's instruction booklet. e.g. a power supply marked as: "Input: AC 1.5A 100-240V 50/60Hz" does not require the use of a voltage converter as it works on a mains voltage range between 100V and 240V. Power Adapters

Example of a UK to Australia power adapter If your country does use the same mains voltage as Australia all you need is a power adapter. This enables you to plug your appliance into the sockets in Australia. Simply put, you plug your appliance into the power adapter and then plug the power adapter into the wall socket in Australia. The plugs in Australia have two flat metal pins shaped like a "V" and some may contain a third flat pin in the centre.

Departing Australia: Security Domestic Passengers You need to be screened if you are travelling on a flight within Australia or entering the sterile area (the secure part of the terminal building). Personal effects are x-rayed and people entering the sterile area pass through a walk-through metal detector. This is supplemented by random checks for explosives. If you are travelling within Australia, no further security checks are required.

SRPFMO 5 – DELEGATE INFORMATION

International Passengers If you are travelling overseas, you will also need to pass through our international outbound screening point, also located on Level 2 of the Terminal within the sterile area. This involves additional security checks to comply with international regulations. At this point, there are additional requirements, with random body scanning and screening of liquids, aerosols and gels (LAGs). Click here to see current regulations for passengers travelling internationally from Australia. This check takes place directly before passing through Australian Customs checks for departing passengers. Getting Through Security Quickly By following these simple tips, passing through security can be made even easier: • Take laptops, tablets and any large electrical items out of bags and place on a tray. • You may need to remove coats and jackets if they have a high content of metal. • Put small personal effects into your hand baggage if you have it; this will save time at the screening point and minimise the chance of leaving anything behind. • Trays are provided for larger items such as handbags, shoes and laptops. • Some shoes contain metal and may need screening (e.g. steel cap boots).
