Send Money to Australia

Australia is home to one of the fastest-growing Indian communities in the world, with over 900,000 people of Indian origin living across the country. From Sydney and Melbourne to Perth, Brisbane, and Adelaide, Indians have established strong professional and cultural roots across every major city.

For many Indians, Australia represents a destination for both education and long-term settlement. World-class universities, skilled migration pathways, and a robust economy attract students, IT professionals, healthcare workers, and entrepreneurs. Cities like Melbourne and Sydney have thriving Indian communities, while Perth and Brisbane continue to draw skilled workers across mining, engineering, and technology sectors.

These deep connections make sending money to Australia a frequent and often high-value requirement. Whether it is university tuition, settlement costs after receiving a PR, family support, or funding a business venture, the need to transfer funds in AUD comes up regularly.

Even small differences in exchange rates or fees affect the final amount received. BookMyForex helps you send money to Australia with better rates, faster processing, and complete transparency at every step. 

Money transfers from India to Australia are concentrated in cities with large Indian communities and strong economic activity. Sydney and Melbourne receive the highest volume of remittances due to a well-established Indian diaspora, multiple universities, and diverse employment opportunities.

Perth attracts significant transfers linked to mining professionals and skilled workers. Brisbane and Adelaide see growing Indian populations with regular transfers tied to employment and settlement, while Canberra receives remittances connected to public sector workers and students.

Accurate beneficiary details such as the recipient’s BSB number, account number, and the bank’s SWIFT code are essential to ensure smooth processing. Most recipients use accounts with major Australian banks like Commonwealth Bank, ANZ, Westpac, or NAB, making bank-to-bank transfers the preferred and most reliable method. Digital banking is widely adopted across the country.

Funds sent from India are credited in AUD, allowing recipients to use the money immediately for rent, tuition fees, groceries, insurance, or everyday expenses. 

As per the Union Budget 2026, Tax Collected at Source (TCS) applies to outward remittances under LRS based on the purpose and amount of transfer. Here are the applicable TCS rates:

● Education via education loan: 0% TCS (any amount)
● Self-funded education & medical treatment: Nil up to ₹10 lakh; 2% above ₹10 lakh
● All other outward remittances: Nil up to ₹10 lakh; 20% above ₹10 lakh

Note: TCS is not a final tax, it can be claimed as credit when filing your ITR. BookMyForex auto-calculates applicable TCS at checkout so there are no surprises.
