Can I use my Australia plug in New Zealand?
A straight answer for Australia devices on a New Zealand trip — plugs, voltage and frequency compared.
No adapter needed
Your Type I plugs fit New Zealand sockets. Voltage and frequency also match, so there is nothing to adapt.

What to pack
- Your Type I plugs fit New Zealand sockets — and the voltage matches.
- A second adapter if you travel with a partner — they are cheap and easy to lose.
