There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting British pound to Australian dollar:
Generally speaking, if you are buying Australian dollar with British pound, then it's better for the GBP/AUD exchange rate to be higher.
However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).
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.
Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.

There are no limits on the amount of money that can be sent to or from Australia. However, there may be fees and exchange rates that apply when sending money internationally, and these costs can vary depending on the method of transfer and the country where the money is being sent.
If you are sending a large amount of money to or from Australia, it is a good idea to compare the fees and exchange rates offered by different money transfer providers to find the most cost-effective option.
It is also important to note that there are some reporting requirements in Australia for international money transfers. If you are sending or receiving an amount of AUD 10,000 or more, you are required to report the transaction to the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC). This requirement applies to both individuals and businesses.
Additionally, if you are sending money to or from a country that is considered to be a "high risk" for money laundering or terrorism financing, you may be required to provide additional documentation or information to comply with Australian anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws.
