Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Australian Dollar to Philippine Peso exchange rate?
The AUD to PHP exchange rate typically ranges between 38-41 PHP per 1 AUD. Australia has one of the world's largest Filipino populations outside the Philippines—over 300,000 Filipino-Australians, making AUD/PHP a major Australian remittance corridor. The Philippines receives over $1.5 billion annually from Australia. Exchange rates depend on Reserve Bank of Australia policy, Philippine economic conditions, and AUD/USD movements. Our converter updates every 30 minutes with real mid-market rates from OpenExchangeRates.
How can Filipino-Australians send money to the Philippines?
Filipino-Australians have excellent remittance options: Remitly (very popular, fast PHP transfers), Wise (competitive mid-market rates), OFX, WorldRemit (instant to GCash, Philippine banks), Western Union or MoneyGram (extensive agent network); digital wallets (GCash, PayMaya increasingly popular); or Australia-Philippine specialized services. For the 300K+ community in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, compare total PHP received—differences can be 2-5% between providers. Many Filipino-Australians work in healthcare, aged care, hospitality.
Do Australian banks give good exchange rates for Philippine pesos?
No. Australian banks (CommBank, Westpac, ANZ, NAB) typically charge 3-5% above mid-market for AUD to PHP conversions plus $20-35 transfer fees—expensive for regular remittances. Dedicated remittance services are far superior: Remitly charges 1-3%, Wise ~0.5-1%, OFX 1-2%. For the 300,000+ Filipino-Australians (nurses, aged care workers, hospitality professionals), specialized services save 50-70% compared to big four banks. Most send monthly family support, so savings compound significantly.
Why is the Filipino-Australian community so large?
Australia's Filipino community (300K+) grew through: skilled migration programs (nurses, healthcare workers highly valued), family reunification, student visa conversions, and Australia's points-based immigration system. Major concentrations exist in Sydney (120K+), Melbourne (70K+), Brisbane, Perth, and regional areas. This creates one of Australia's most significant remittance corridors—Filipino-Australians sent $1.5B+ to Philippines in recent years, supporting families and driving economic development back home.
When is the best time to send Australian dollars to the Philippines?
For regular monthly family support (very common among Filipino-Australians), consistent transfers work well—market timing rarely helps small amounts. For large transfers (property purchase in Manila/provinces, bahay construction, medical expenses, business investment), watch: RBA rate decisions, Australian economic data, commodity prices (affect AUD), Philippine Bangko Sentral policy, and AUD/USD movements. Holiday seasons (Christmas, New Year) see peak demand. Rate alert apps help catch favorable AUD/PHP peaks.
