Overview
Atlassian licensing in Australia, invoiced in Australian dollars
Atlassian sells Cloud subscriptions in US dollars, even to Australian customers, and adds 10% GST. Atlassian's own licensing FAQ says it can't issue quotes or invoices in Australian dollars for orders containing cloud products or Marketplace apps. Your real cost in AUD therefore depends on the list price, the exchange rate on the day you pay, your bank's currency margin, and, from 3 December 2026, how much of your plan's Rovo and automation allowance you use.
Great Minds is an Atlassian Silver Solution Partner, and we invoice Atlassian licences in Australian dollars. We quote, buy, renew and manage Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, the Teamwork and Service Collections, Rovo and Marketplace apps for Australian mid-market organisations. Finance gets one AUD invoice and a fixed price at the point of quote, and you get one partner accountable for the licences and the platform they run on.
Licensing is also where most Atlassian overspend happens: user tiers bought for peak headcount, Premium paid for but not used, duplicate instances renewing on different dates, and apps nobody opens. We review all of it before each renewal.

What Atlassian Cloud costs in AUD: worked examples
These examples convert Atlassian's annual list prices (after the 13 October 2026 price update) at the Reserve Bank's 6 October 2026 rate of US$0.6970 per A$1, rounded to the nearest A$10. They exclude partner discounts, Marketplace apps and bank margins, so treat them as a budgeting baseline, not a quote.
| Annual subscription | USD list | AUD ex GST | AUD inc GST |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jira Standard, 100 users | 9,700 | 13,920 | 15,310 |
| Confluence Standard, 100 users | 7,200 | 10,330 | 11,360 |
| Teamwork Collection Standard, 100 users | 15,000 | 21,520 | 23,670 |
| Jira + Confluence Standard, 500 users | 64,500 | 92,540 | 101,790 |
| Jira + Confluence Premium, 500 users | 117,000 | 167,860 | 184,650 |
| Service Collection Premium, 50 agents | 28,000 | 40,170 | 44,190 |
Bought separately on Standard, Jira and Confluence for 100 users cost about A$24,250 a year ex GST. Teamwork Collection Standard, which adds Loom and a much larger Rovo allowance (250 credits per user per month against 25 each for Jira and Confluence Standard), costs about A$21,520. At this size the collection is cheaper and includes more AI, so it's usually the better buy if your teams will use Rovo.
Annual pricing is tiered, so 480 users are billed at the 500-user tier. Monthly billing is progressive per user but costs more: for 500 Jira Standard users it works out to about 17% more than the annual plan. If your headcount is stable, annual billing at the right tier is almost always cheaper.
At an AUD/USD rate around 0.70, each one-cent fall in the Australian dollar adds about 1.5% to the AUD cost of the same subscription. On a 500-user Jira and Confluence Premium renewal of about A$168,000, that's roughly A$2,500 for every cent the dollar moves between quote and payment. An AUD invoice fixes the price when you accept the quote.

Before you renew
A renewal checklist
- Count active users per product and site, and remove leavers and duplicate accounts before the tier is set.
- List the Premium or Enterprise features you actually use, such as sandboxes, advanced planning, the uptime SLA and admin controls.
- Estimate Rovo credit and automation step usage against your plan's allowances before 3 December 2026.
- Review Marketplace apps: who uses each one, and is it now duplicated by a platform feature?
- Map renewal dates across products and instances, and decide whether to align them.
- Decide whether instances should be consolidated before or at renewal.
- Agree the invoicing currency, payment terms and approval path with finance in advance.

Atlassian licensing: frequently asked questions
Is Great Minds an Atlassian Silver Solution Partner?
Yes. Great Minds is an Atlassian Silver Solution Partner, accredited in Cloud Migration Delivery and Service Management Sales, and works exclusively with mid-market and enterprise clients, bringing together licensing, implementation and strategic integration expertise. See our Atlassian Partner Directory profile.
Can we pay for Atlassian Cloud in Australian dollars?
Not directly from Atlassian, which invoices cloud products and Marketplace apps in US dollars. Buying through Great Minds gets you an AUD quote and invoice, with the currency conversion handled by us.
Does Atlassian charge GST in Australia?
Yes. Atlassian adds 10% GST for Australian customers. Most GST-registered businesses can claim it back as a GST credit, but organisations that make input-taxed supplies, such as many financial services providers, may recover only part of it.
Can we buy and renew Atlassian licences through Great Minds?
Yes. We manage the full lifecycle of your Atlassian licensing, from initial purchase to contract renewals and upgrades, giving you one point of accountability and complete financial transparency.
Can we move our existing Atlassian licences to Great Minds?
Yes. We can take over existing licences and renewals, so purchasing, renewals and upgrades sit with one accountable partner. Nothing changes technically in your Atlassian products.
How can we avoid overspending on Atlassian licences?
Our licensing advisory and cost modelling analyses your current and forecast usage, evaluates Cloud and Data Center configurations, and builds commercial models that prevent overspend, avoid shelfware and support business agility.
Do we need Enterprise to keep our data in Australia?
No. Data residency in Atlassian's Sydney region is available on Standard and above. Enterprise adds controls such as Atlassian Analytics, more sites and a higher uptime SLA.
How will Rovo be charged from 3 December 2026?
Each plan includes a monthly allowance of Rovo credits and automation steps, pooled across your organisation. Usage above the allowance is billed from 3 December 2026. Our guide to Rovo credits explains what uses credits and how to estimate your bill.
We run several Jira or Confluence instances. Can you help?
Yes. For clients with multiple Jira or Confluence instances or hybrid environments, we consolidate licence management to reduce risk, align governance and support future consolidation or Atlassian Cloud migration.
Is Great Minds just a licence reseller?
No. Unlike volume-based resellers, we embed licensing into your broader Atlassian platform strategy, alongside implementation, integration and managed services and support.
