SIM Card Registration & Activation Process for Tourists in Australia

Tourists in Australia must present a valid passport to register a SIM card, as part of the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act requirements. The registration process includes verifying identity through passport scanning, with some providers also requiring visa details. SIM cards can be purchased at airports, convenience stores, or mobile carrier shops. Activation is usually immediate once identity is confirmed. This regulation ensures each SIM card is linked to a verified individual, supporting national security and preventing anonymous usage.
