Coverage note

What the City Association Means

Perth is within the broad 08 Central and West numbering region.

The four geographic codes cover large regions and multiple cities, and 08 spans several time zones. Some providers permit out-of-area local-number porting, so a prefix is not conclusive proof of current physical location. Mobile, 13, 1300, 1800, IoT and special-service numbers are not geographic.
