I
used to live in Australia before coming to London, may be I can shed
some light. All previous issues of Australian banknotes retain their
legal tender status. However, as it's been a long time since old style
banknotes actively circulated in Australia, retailers may be reluctant
to accept them if they are not familiar with the designs and may suspect
them to be counterfeit. The Reserve Bank and most commercial banks in
Australia (Westpac, NBA, C'wealth bank etc) will redeem old notes to
face value (give you new notes in return).
Of all the photos of the notes you uploaded:
$5 notes - still commonly used and circulated, it's the current design and still feature the Queen Elizabeth II on the note.
$10 - I've only seen and used the blue ones and never saw the top 2
ones, but since they still have the "plastic" feature, I think you can
still use them or at least can change them in the bank to new ones
$50 - I've seen all of them, but the most common one is the top once,
which have the "pastic window" feature. The bottom one is paper form,
and should be old style. Again, you can still use them but if some
retails (esp the smaller shops) rejected to accept them, you can change
them back to new ones from bank.
