Can I use this US power supply in Australia?

Electricity is confusing!!

I have this power supply that came with a security camera. I think I understand enough that it's compatible with our electrical system with a standard USA to Australia travel power point adapter (but I'm not positive). However, I'd rather purchase a replacement power supply that fits our Australian outlets.

 

Can anyone advise if there is the relevant replacement at Bunnings, and if it needs a power conversion?

The sticker on the power supply states 

Input(Л): 100-240V~ 50/60Hz 0.3A
Output(輸出):12V=1A

Is this called a DC cable? 

A link to the right product/s would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you for your help!

My apologies I missed this one.

 

Yes you can use this PS with an adaptor.

The input range is 100-240VAC 50/60 hz and Output is 12VDC

 

They make them like this so they don't have to make different electronics for every country just the pin configuration.

 

If you were to purchase another adaptor just make sure your output is 12VDC 1Amps or greater.
