Gold Rate Today in Australia — Live Gold Price per Gram
Australia is one of the largest gold producers on earth, and the Perth Mint is a globally recognised refiner and bullion brand. Local prices are quoted per gram and per troy ounce in Australian Dollars (A$), derived from the USD international spot at the current exchange rate.
Australian jewellery commonly uses 9k and 18k, with 14k also seen and 24k mostly for investment bars and coins like the Perth Mint Kangaroo. The table below converts live spot into AUD per gram and per karat, giving you a clean benchmark against a jeweller or a gold buyer.
GST does not apply to investment-grade gold (99.5%+ purity) in Australia, but it does apply to jewellery, so the metal value shown here is your baseline before fabrication and tax.
