AUD to GBP over the last 30 days

Over the 23 ECB working days from 2 Sept 2026 to 2 Oct 2026, 1 AUD ranged from 0.5244 GBP (30 Sept 2026) to 0.5336 GBP (18 Sept 2026), averaging 0.5305. Today's 0.5257 is below that average by 0.91%.

For 1,000 AUD, that range is the difference between 524.42 and 533.56 GBP: 9.14 GBP, or 1.74% of the low. The biggest one-day move was -0.82% on 30 Sept 2026.

Example: a bank or card that sets its rate 3% worse than mid-market would pay 509.89 GBP for 1,000 AUD today instead of 525.66, keeping 15.77 GBP. 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 GBP, and why

Australian dollars to pounds is used by Australians on UK working holidays and in London jobs, families visiting relatives in Britain, and Australians receiving UK pensions or inheritances in reverse.

• Moving savings for a two-year UK working holiday
• Paying UK rent deposits from Australia
• Budgeting a British or Irish holiday

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 Cash totals are rounded to the nearest 5 cents because 1- and 2-cent coins were withdrawn in 1992.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 British Pound Sterling (GBP) is issued by the Bank of England and used in the United Kingdom; Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man issue their own pound notes at par, and Gibraltar, the Falkland Islands and St Helena have pounds pegged one-to-one. Scottish and Northern Irish banks also print sterling notes. They are legal currency but shops in England can refuse them, so travellers often swap them before leaving.
