As the others have said, there is a $100 note, but there are no larger denomination notes in Australian currency.
A range of gold coins are minted each year for collectors. These are legal currency, and the largest has a face value of $200. You would be foolish to try and spend it though, since the amount of gold in the coin would be worth more than the $200, let alone what a collector might pay for it. In any case, regardless of the fact that they are legal tender, most people would not accept them because they've never seen them before.

Just $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 notes in legal tender. Anything else, you be worried.
Unless it is from the colonial days. Then you struck it rich. But never $200.

$100 note exists (it;s green in colour) there is no such tender as $200, $500 or $1000 notes.
All Aussie notes are plastic to prevent fraud & getting teared & crumpled.
$5 - purple
$10 - blue
$20 - orange
$50 - mustardy/beige colour
There are no copper coins anymore (1 & 2c) they were abolished mid 80's.
The coins are as follows -
5, 10, 20 & 50c coins are silver & various sizes
$1 & $2 coins are gold & also different sizes
Hope that helps!

5 cent , 10 cent , 20 cent , 50 cent , $1 , $2 , are all coins
$5 , $10 , $20 , $50 , $100 , are all "plastic" notes.
This is a great site that explains the history of our money.

a good thing is there are no 1 cent or two cent coins in circulation even though items are still priced like there was, they merely round up or down. Also the money has a wax/plastic coating so stopping it from getting crumpled and dirty unlike some of our grotty UK money

They might have a thousand dollar bill, I know Canada does, but you rarely see them, you have to order them special from the bank.
