If you’ve ever dialled a number starting with 07, you’ve contacted someone in Queensland or northern New South Wales.
What Is the 07 Area Code?
The 07 area code is specifically assigned to Queensland and some border regions of northern New South Wales. It is used exclusively for landline services, not mobile phones.
This means if you’re calling or receiving a landline call from Brisbane, Cairns, or the Gold Coast, it will most likely begin with 07.

Here’s a list of key cities and regions that fall under the 07 area code:
Queensland:
- Brisbane
- Gold Coast
- Sunshine Coast
- Toowoomba
- Townsville
- Cairns
- Rockhampton
- Mackay
- Bundaberg
- Hervey Bay
Northern New South Wales (border regions):

How to Dial a 07 Number

- From within Australia:

- From overseas:
- Dial as +61 7 XXXX XXXX
- (Replace the leading 0 with +61, Australia’s country code)

The 07 code is used across:
- Homes (residential landlines)
- Small and medium businesses
- Healthcare services
- Retail outlets
- Tourism operators
- Real estate agencies
- Government departments
Getting a 07 Number for Your Business
Whether you’re a startup or an established business expanding into Queensland, getting a 07 number is simple. You can:
- Set up a cloud-hosted PBX system with a local presence
- Port an existing number from another provider
- Purchase a new 07 number from a telco or VoIP provider
This can all be managed remotely, especially if your system is NBN-ready and uses VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol).
Challenges to Keep in Mind
- Multi-State Confusion: If your business operates nationally, you may need multiple area codes to maintain a local feel.
- Number Porting: Moving interstate? You may not be able to keep your 07 number if relocating your physical landline.
- VoIP Setup: Ensure your internet connection supports high-quality voice calls before switching to cloud phone systems.
