Send a fax to Australia online

Prepare an Australian or overseas-to-Australia fax

1. Check the recipient office and upload readable PDF, DOC, DOCX or supported image files in the intended order, up to 50 MB combined per fax. Include any requested contact or reference, and count the cover sheet together with the attachments.
2. Choose Australia as the recipient country even when you are also in Australia. Enter the recipient fax number using the Australian number guide below.
3. Review availability, the page count and the total price before authorizing the one-time PayPal payment.
4. Follow the status until delivery succeeds or reaches a final failure. Provider acceptance is not proof of delivery. If the line is busy or does not answer, follow the guidance shown for that fax.

• Create a free fax cover sheet before uploading
• Check what your fax delivery status means
• Read the international fax guide for numbers, price and delivery

What to expect

• Enter the destination with +61 and remove the leading 0 from the domestic number.

How to enter an Australian fax number

Select Australia so the destination code is +61. FaxOnWeb accepts a local number or a matching international number and normalizes the domestic trunk prefix.

1. A domestic format written as 0 + area code + subscriber number becomes +61 + area code without the leading 0 + subscriber number.
2. FaxOnWeb is outbound-only: use the recipient's actual fax line rather than an email-to-fax address or virtual receiving number.

Practical checklist for faxing Australia

Verify the Australian destination and label the document clearly before sending it to the recipient's fax line.

Confirm the receiving fax line

Confirm the fax number with the receiving office and check that it belongs to the intended team rather than a general voice line.

Add the receiving team and reference

State the organization, receiving team or contact, and any claim, account, application, matter, or file reference provided by the recipient.

Verify the page total and final status

Count the cover sheet plus all attachments, check the displayed page total, and wait until FaxOnWeb receives the provider's final delivery or failure status.

What to expect

• Pay once with PayPal: USD 2.89 for up to 5 pages, then USD 0.39 per additional page.
• Upload PDF, DOC, DOCX, TIF, TIFF, JPG, JPEG, or PNG documents. Maximum total size per fax: 50MB Technical maximum of 200 pages per fax; Brazil up to 5 pages, China up to 3 pages
• Documents retained while waiting for delivery are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM; validation and transmission use isolated, short-lived processing files.
• A fax is shown as successful only after the recipient fax machine confirms delivery.
• Deletion is attempted no later than 7 days after upload for final failures, and failed deletion attempts are retried. Unresolved documents stay encrypted while the delivery outcome is reconciled; deletion is attempted after confirmed delivery or a terminal retention outcome.
