Australians in the UK voted on Friday ahead of the final day of polling in Australia on Saturday with the opposition leader vying to become the country's fifth prime minister in three years.

An estimated 15,000 Australians will have voted through the Australian High Commission in this election, with up to 3,000 expected today.

Global market turmoil since the Brexit vote, Australia's success in turning back asylum seeker boats, gay marriage, housing prices, corporate tax rates and union corruption have been major issues in the eight-week campaign.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has urged Australians to vote for continuity and stability by re-electing his conservative coalition which dumped the country's last prime minister less than a year ago.

Opposition leader Bill Shorten, who played a key role in his centre-left Labour Party ousting two of its own prime ministers in the space of three years, says the government remains deeply divided and that Labour is the stable option.
