Can UK travellers book Australian domestic flights from abroad?

Yes. Kiwi.com accepts UK and international payment cards for Jetstar, Virgin Australia, Qantas and Rex domestic flights — useful when their own websites reject foreign cards or require Australian addresses.

Do you need to fly internationally to reach Tasmania from mainland Australia?

No. Tasmania is an Australian state, so flights from mainland Australia to Hobart (HBA) and Launceston (LST) are domestic — no passport required for Australian citizens or residents, and travel rules are domestic.
