Transformers are relatively simple devices which change both the current and the voltage of an electric source without affecting the total amount of power being given. Power, as the product of current and voltage, is mostly conserved as transformers are used, but the current and voltage changes. If the device needs just half the voltage of what is coming out of your wall (240v in Australia), then it will 'step down' this voltage by half, but will have to 'step up' the current, so your voltage will halve, your current will double, but the total amount of power will remain the same. Essentially the transformer exists to give your device the required input of electricity so your device is not fried!
