Invoice processing in Australia
InvoiceHaven turns PDF, scanned and photographed Australian invoices into structured, reviewable Excel data, with AUD (A$) handled natively.
An Australian business processes invoices in InvoiceHaven by uploading them, letting OCR and AI extraction capture the supplier, invoice number, dates, currency, subtotal, GST, total and line items, reviewing the flagged values, and exporting the result to Excel. InvoiceHaven is an AI-powered invoice-to-data platform for businesses in New Zealand, Australia and the United States.
What InvoiceHaven does for Australian invoices
- Reads PDF, JPG and PNG invoices, including scanned documents and phone photos.
- Detects Australian invoices from signals such as ABN, Australian addresses, postcodes and state names (NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT, NT).
- Records the currency as AUD and formats amounts as A$ in the app and in Excel.
- Extracts supplier, invoice number, invoice and due dates, subtotal, GST, total and line items.
- Checks GST and total arithmetic and flags possible duplicate invoices.
- Exports one or many invoices to a multi-sheet Excel workbook.
AUD and NZD side by side
InvoiceHaven serves businesses in both Australia and New Zealand, so mixed-currency invoice batches are normal. Each invoice keeps the currency printed on the document: A$ stays A$, NZ$ stays NZ$, and no exchange rate is applied at any point. Excel exports carry per-invoice currency formatting so a workbook can contain both without ambiguity.
GST in the two markets
Australian invoices typically show 10% GST; New Zealand invoices typically show 15%. InvoiceHaven does not assume a rate — it extracts the GST amount as printed and verifies that subtotal plus GST equals the invoice total. See GST invoice processing NZ for the New Zealand equivalent of this page.
The workflow
- Upload — add PDF, JPG or PNG invoices, or photograph one with a phone camera.
- Extract — OCR reads the pages and AI extraction fills the invoice fields and line items.
- Review — check flagged values, including currency and GST, and correct anything misread.
- Export — download the selected invoices as a multi-sheet Excel workbook.
Each step is walked through on how InvoiceHaven works, and the underlying reading step is covered on invoice OCR.
Who it is for in Australia
- Builders, trades and contractors handling merchant and supplier invoices.
- Small businesses without a dedicated accounts payable function.

What it does not do
- It is not accounting software and does not keep ledgers.
- It does not lodge BAS or GST returns, and gives no accounting or tax advice.
- It does not convert currencies or make payments.
- It does not replace human review — flagged invoices are meant to be checked.

Does InvoiceHaven capture the supplier ABN?
Supplier identifiers printed on the invoice, including an ABN, are captured as part of the extracted supplier detail and can be corrected during review before export.

Australian invoices commonly carry 10% GST. InvoiceHaven extracts the GST amount as printed and checks it arithmetically against subtotal and total. When an invoice carries no GST amount the check is reported as not applicable.
