There has been many cases of non compliant equipment for sale online so if not sure buy from a seller here in Australia, but this is not always the case either, we have seen many items for sale here in Ipswich stores recently and it is quite frightening, if you are buying an item with 240V plug top (your everyday plug top) you will see that there are pins with little black/ white insulators, this has been a requirement since 2004, so if the plug doesn't have these insulators there is a possibility that the plug doesn't meet Australian standards and that the item has not passed the necessary tests required for safe use here in Australia.
