I'm relocating from Dubai to Australia, I'm shipping all my household goods. I'm worried about my electrical goods, they are 220 voltage. Does that comply with aussie sandards?They also do not have the same style of plug as australia. Does that mean the plugs on my appliances will have to be changed at the port by an electrician? What about fridges? What are the requirements? My fridge is an LG and it's 100% CFC free. I hear Australia is strict abour fridges what kind of fridge must it be? Is my fridge alright to bring over?

Australian power is 220-240volts 50hertz. Your electrical equipment will be fine. There is one standard plug in Australia for all electrical equipment. If it is different from yours, which it probably will be, you will need to change all your plugs. You can do this yourself if you know what you are doing or get an electrician to do it for you. It doesn't need to be at the port, wait til you move your belongings into your house and book the electrician to be there that day. Your fridge sounds OK to me, it is similar to fridges that can be bought here.

Listen to tentofield.
He's giving you good advice.
There are adaptor plugs available for your electrical equipment that you could use in the short term, until you get the fridge plugs etc changed.

I've used the same items of electrical equipment when I've been in the UAE, the UK and Australia. No problem, just a simple change of plugs.
