UK uses 230V, Australia uses 240V. Supply voltages are never exactly what they're supposed to be and vary about 10-15 volts (go on, get a volt meter and test it). The UK and AU voltages are so close that the same motor works interchangeably and Singer motors from both Scotland and Australia are usually marked "230-250 volts" (yes I did just look).
