Convert Vietnamese dong (VND) to Australian dollars (AUD) at today's reference rate. Common amounts, 7-day and 30-day tables, and a 12-month chart.
These figures use the same daily reference rate shown above, so they move when the rate moves. They are a quick way to size an amount of Vietnamese dong in Australian dollars without typing it into the converter; for any other figure, use the VND to AUD converter at the top of this page.

The inverse rate is simply 1 ÷ R, so the same reference rate answers the reverse question.

VND/AUD pairs a major reserve currency (AUD) with a less heavily traded one (VND). That usually means the rate is calculated as a cross from the major's quote against the US dollar and the minor's quote against the US dollar. Spreads on consumer products tend to be wider than for purely major pairs, especially outside the home market of the smaller currency.
Vietnamese Dong is associated with Asia and Australian Dollar with Oceania, so each currency typically reacts to a different set of releases. VND/AUD therefore tends to move when something specific happens in either home market: an interest-rate decision, an inflation print, a trade-balance number, or a political event that changes the perceived risk of holding that currency.
The number shown in the rate box is a daily reference rate: roughly the mid-market price at the time the public rate feed was published. It is a useful benchmark, but it is not the rate you would obtain at a bank, a card terminal, an ATM, or a money-transfer provider. Those providers add a margin to the mid-market rate (the "spread") and may charge a fixed or percentage fee on top. To estimate what a real transaction would actually cost, take the displayed reference rate and apply the provider's published spread and fee.
The 7-day and 30-day tables show one observation per day. They are useful for sanity-checking an unusual reading on the live rate against very recent values and for spotting any obvious trend over the last month. The 12-month chart on this page is built from monthly samples and is intended to show the general direction of VND/AUD over a year rather than every short-term swing. For an intraday view of the same pair, the embedded chart further up the page draws on a finer-grained data source.
Like any exchange rate, VND/AUD reflects the relative attractiveness of holding Vietnamese Dong versus Australian Dollar. The most common drivers are:
Suppose the rate above is R. To convert an amount of Vietnamese Dong, multiply by R: amount in AUD = amount in VND × R. To go the other direction, divide instead: amount in VND = amount in AUD ÷ R. The converter at the top of the page does this automatically and updates either input as you type. For an estimate of what a real bank or transfer service would deliver, subtract a typical retail spread (often a few tenths of a percent for major pairs and noticeably more for minor or exotic pairs) and any flat fee from the result.
If you arrived here looking for the inverse direction, the AUD to VND page shows the same data presented the other way around. The guide on how exchange rates are quoted explains why the inverse rate is simply 1 ÷ R. To understand the gap between the figure on this page and what a bank actually offers, see the comparison of mid-market rates and consumer rates.
Other dong pairs on this site include VND to NZD, VND to USD and AUD to VND for the reverse direction.
A single dong is a very small amount in Australian terms, so the one-unit figure runs to six decimal places and is rarely useful on its own. The common-amounts table above starts at 1,000 VND and runs to 50,000,000 VND, which is the range most people actually need when pricing a trip or a transfer.
No. ISO 4217 assigns VND a minor unit of zero — the hào and xu sub-units are obsolete — so dong amounts are always whole numbers. That is why converted results in the table are shown as round dong figures in the reverse direction rather than with cents.
No, but it is heavily managed. The State Bank of Vietnam sets a daily central rate and allows trading within a band around it, so the dong moves in smaller, more controlled steps than a freely floating currency. Against the Australian dollar, much of the day-to-day movement in VND/AUD actually comes from the AUD side rather than the dong.
Neither, exactly. The figure here is a mid-market reference rate. Airport counters, hotels and card terminals apply their own margins, and dynamic currency conversion at a Vietnamese terminal is usually the worst option offered. The mid-market vs bank rates guide shows how to work out the gap before you commit.
