Open Uber
Go to the first screen of the Uber app (“Enter your mobile number”).
Enter the +61 number
Select Australia (+61) in Uber's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +61 into Uber.

Uber is one of the most used apps in Australia, alongside WhatsApp and Facebook. A local +61 number makes rides and deliveries with a local number drivers can reach look native rather than foreign.
Working holiday makers: Backpackers on working holiday visas can have an Australian number ready for job applications, Gumtree listings and farm work contacts.
Uber logs you in by SMS and drivers contact you on the number during every trip.
