Managing Currency and Payment Terms When Recovering Australian Debts
Australian debt collection for European businesses needs a clear distinction between the contractual amount owed and the arrangements for receiving payment. Currency, deductions and conflicting payment instructions can complicate an otherwise straightforward overdue account.

Provide the contract or accepted order, the payment terms supplied to the Australian customer and any later agreement changing those terms. Include outstanding invoices and a statement reconciling payments and credit notes. If the parties exchanged different versions of the terms, send the relevant correspondence rather than assuming which version applies.
State the invoicing currency and show payments in that currency where the records allow. If your accounts system also reports a euro or other currency equivalent, identify it separately from the claimed balance. An internal conversion should not be presented as an additional amount the customer agreed to pay.
Before accepting a payment arrangement, confirm the proposed currency, instalment amounts, due dates and how bank charges or deductions will be handled. Reconcile amounts actually received before confirming that an instalment or the account has been paid. The collector also needs clear authority before accepting a reduced settlement.
European suppliers seeking to recover unpaid commercial invoices from Australian companies should provide the debtor’s explanation for non-payment alongside the financial records. If collection does not resolve the matter, the agreement and payment history will assist an Australian solicitor assessing the available legal recovery options. Consider the likely costs and debtor’s financial position before authorising proceedings; the commercial objective is payment, not simply obtaining a judgment.
