15 February 2018: The Reserve Bank has today revealed the design of the new $50 banknote. As with the existing banknote, the new $50 features portraits of Aboriginal writer and inventor David Unaipon and the first female member of an Australian parliament, Edith Cowan.
The new banknotes will be released into general circulation in October 2018.
Existing $50 banknotes can continue to be used, as all previously issued banknotes remain legal tender.
It is expected that the $20 banknote will be upgraded next year.
