What You'll Learn
Open Settings
To make Siri Australian, you'll need to open the Settings app on your device. This process differs depending on whether you're using an iOS or macOS device.
IOS
If you're using an iOS device, such as an iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app and tap on "Siri & Search". From there, select "Siri Voice" under the "Ask Siri" section. Here, you'll be able to choose between Male or Female under Gender, and American, Australian, British, Irish, or South African under Accents.
MacOS
For macOS, the process is similar. Open System Preferences and click on the "Siri" icon. Then, click on "Siri Voice" and select the accent and gender you prefer. In addition to the options available on iOS, macOS offers female Irish and South African accents.
Preview and Download
Regardless of your platform, you'll be able to preview Siri's accent and gender before finalizing your selection. If the accent or gender you choose isn't already downloaded, it will start downloading when you tap on it. You can monitor the progress of voice downloads at the bottom of the menu. It's important to wait for the download to complete before navigating away from the menu, unless you change your mind about your selection.

If you're looking to make Siri sound more like a local, you can change Siri's accent to Australian. Here's how to do it:
First, open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. In the Settings menu, tap "Siri & Search". This will open a menu where you can customise Siri's behaviour and appearance. From here, you want to tap "Siri Voice" under the "Ask Siri" header. This is where you'll find all the voice options available to you.

Select Male or Female under Gender
Siri is a voice-controlled assistant that can be customised to have a different voice and accent. To change Siri's gender, open Settings, tap "Siri & Search", then select "Siri Voice" under "Ask Siri". Here, you will be able to choose between "Male" or "Female" under "Gender".
It is important to note that Apple no longer labels Siri voices as "Male" and "Female". Instead, they are labelled as "Voice 1" to "Voice 4". However, you can still change the sound of the voice from masculine to feminine.
If you are using a Mac, Siri's options can be accessed from the System Preferences. The top option in macOS's Siri settings is the language menu.
After changing Siri's gender, you will need to connect to Wi-Fi and download the new voice. You can check the progress of the voice download at the bottom of the menu. Once the download is complete, your Siri will have a new gender.
In addition to changing Siri's gender, you can also change its accent. Siri can have one of six accents: American, Australian, British, Indian, Irish, or South African.
