Difference in voltage and frequency
You don’t need to worry about a voltage convertor, because the standard voltage in Australia (230 V) is similar to Spain (220 V).
Utilizing an appliance not suited for your voltage/frequency can lead to catastrophic damages. To guarantee the safety of your device, make sure you read the label on it before use. Some appliances don’t need a converter at all; if their labels state ‘Input: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz’, then they are certified for international usage!
