NZD to AUD over the last 30 days

Over the 23 ECB working days from 2 Sept 2026 to 2 Oct 2026, 1 NZD ranged from 0.8021 AUD (18 Sept 2026) to 0.8167 AUD (4 Sept 2026), averaging 0.8091. Today's 0.8087 is below that average by 0.05%.

For 1,000 NZD, that range is the difference between 802.07 and 816.68 AUD: 14.62 AUD, or 1.82% of the low. The biggest one-day move was -0.64% on 18 Sept 2026.

Example: a bank or card that sets its rate 3% worse than mid-market would pay 784.48 AUD for 1,000 NZD today instead of 808.74, keeping 24.26 AUD. 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 NZD to AUD, and why

New Zealand dollars to Australian dollars is one of the most common moves across the Tasman: New Zealanders working in Australia, families visiting relatives, and businesses trading under the trans-Tasman agreements.

• Moving savings for a job in Sydney, Melbourne or Perth
• Paying Australian rent or bond from a New Zealand account
• Booking an Australian holiday or event

About the two currencies

The New Zealand Dollar (NZD) is issued by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and used in New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Niue, Tokelau and the Pitcairn Islands. Floated in March 1985 and nicknamed the kiwi after the bird on the old $1 coin. Dairy prices and China's demand move it, and it often trades in step with the Australian dollar.

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 Cash totals are rounded to the nearest 5 cents because 1- and 2-cent coins were withdrawn in 1992.
