Money tips for Melbourne
Australia is heavily cashless — contactless (tap-and-go) card payments are accepted almost everywhere, including taxis, market stalls and public transport top-ups. Many small businesses now operate card-only, so you rarely need much AUD cash on hand. Check whether your card charges foreign transaction fees before you go, and consider a fee-free travel card for the best rate.
ATMs are widely available in the CBD and suburbs, but withdrawal fees apply outside your own bank's network. Tipping is not customary in Australia — restaurant and service prices already include a fair wage, though rounding up or a small tip for exceptional service is appreciated, never expected.
