AUD to CAD over the last 30 days

Over the 23 ECB working days from 2 Sept 2026 to 2 Oct 2026, 1 AUD ranged from 0.9881 CAD (2 Oct 2026) to 0.9996 CAD (21 Sept 2026), averaging 0.9939. Today's 0.9881 is below that average by 0.58%.

For 1,000 AUD, that range is the difference between 988.13 and 999.57 CAD: 11.44 CAD, or 1.16% of the low. The biggest one-day move was -0.50% on 30 Sept 2026.

Example: a bank or card that sets its rate 3% worse than mid-market would pay 958.49 CAD for 1,000 AUD today instead of 988.13, keeping 29.64 CAD. That 3% is more than this rate's whole 30-day range, so the margin you pay matters more than the day you convert.

Who converts AUD to CAD, and why

Australian dollars to Canadian dollars is used by Australians on Canadian working holidays (especially ski seasons in Whistler and Banff), students, and families visiting relatives in Canada.

• Moving savings for a Canadian ski season

About the two currencies

The Australian Dollar (AUD) is issued by the Reserve Bank of Australia and used in Australia, and also Kiribati, Nauru and Tuvalu. Australia introduced the world's first polymer banknote in 1988. Cash totals are rounded to the nearest 5 cents because 1- and 2-cent coins were withdrawn in 1992.

The Canadian Dollar (CAD) is issued by the Bank of Canada and used in Canada. Notes are polymer ($5 to $100), and the $1 and $2 coins are the loonie and toonie. The penny was withdrawn in 2013, so cash totals are rounded to the nearest 5 cents.
