The AUD/NZD mid-rate is the rate you will see
Quoted on Google
or the News, nobody except the largest banks and businesses can get exchange rates close to this mid-rate. It is actually just the theoretical half-way point (hence mid-rate) between
the last rate at which the AUD / NZD was traded (bought or sold) in the international markets.
The closer your final exchange rate is to the market / midrate the better deal you are getting.

Getting a good market rate is mainly about timing however the transaction margin
you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for
travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money.
The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount
you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.

3. Currency News, Research and Forecasts for Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar
Whenever you are interested in an exchange rate you are actually interested in two currencies due to the fact that the value of a currency is always determined quoted in comparison to another currency.
So it follows that if you are determining the best time to transact, in this case the AUD vs NZD, you should pay attention to both Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar news and forecasts.
Australian dollar (AUD) - Market news and forecasts
The Australian dollar could slump more than 10 percent against the US dollar into the "mid-60 cents" region within twelve months, said a senior money manager in June. Given RBA Governor Philip Lowe’s insistence that “there is no strong case for a near-term adjustment in monetary policy,” there is little incentive for investors to hold AUD instead of USD (which will benefit from future Fed hikes), the money manager believes.
A fall to 65 US cents (at 74.4 cents in mid-June ’18) would take AUD back to financial crisis levels last seen in early 2009.
Also pessimistic on the Australian dollar are Westpac and ANZ. Westpac have forecast AUD at 72 US cents in mid-2019 and ANZ have advised clients to “sell the [AUD] rallies.”
Technically, the outlook for AUD/USD remains poor. Longer-term charts show AUD/USD breaking from an upwards trend channel and meaningful psychological support won't be in play until the 70 cents handle.
Against the New Zealand dollar, AUD fell 2 percent in the weeks leading up to this report to N$1.072; however, a bird’s eye view shows AUD/NZD drifting sideways for the past 3 ½ years.
New Zealand dollar (NZD) - Market news and forecasts
Barring minor, short-lived deviations, the New Zealand dollar has traded against the US dollar between $0.68 and $0.75 for more than two years. In the second week of June, it was trading at $0.703, within the bottom third of that range.
The New Zealand dollar will fall through the lower end of this range before June ’19 to just $0.64, believes Westpac. The Australian bank said as much in June (it also saw the kiwi falling to 90 Australian cents, from 92.3), citing underperformance in New Zealand’s economy relative to its peers as its reason; this will be exacerbated by a substantial slowdown in net migration to New Zealand, the bank argues.
Also bearish NZD is Deutsche Bank. In May, during which NZD averaged $0.695, Deutsche’s valuation model ranked NZD as the fifth most overvalued of the world’s twenty-eight most traded currencies.
Importantly, interest rates in New Zealand are expected to fall below US rates this year – a development that PricewaterhouseCoopers has described as a “massive change in market conditions [offering] a disincentive to invest in NZD.” The RBNZ massively disappointed holders of NZD in May when it said its next move was as likely to be a rate cut as it was a hike.
