Travel adapter from Switzerland to Australia
Adapter Required
Yes — coming from Switzerland, you will need a travel adapter for Australia. Switzerland uses Type C/Type J plugs, and Australia uses Type I, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket.

More about plugs in Australia
In Australia, the standard power plug is Type I. The country runs on 230 volts at 50 Hz. That means every wall socket in Australia is the same shape — Type I, and your plug needs to physically match the socket to fit.
