Electrical experts advice needed plz -

Is it possible (and safe) to swap an Australian plug over to a standard UK 13 amp plug, obviously taking into account the colour coding difference when rewiring. Oz plugs don’t have fuses like UK plugs but the voltage seems to be similar. Appreciate some advice on this because we’ve run out of adapters :rolleyes:
 
Swapping the plug is ok as long as you make sure -

The wiring is correct - Ground, netural, live
Voltage and frequency are the same ( frequency is usually not an issue for electronic components)
