Hello! I don't know about AUD-KZT; as the others said, banks should be able to do it, but I would also suggest bringing USD to be safe.
The smaller money exchange places usually have a better rate than banks - but if you feel safer/more used to it, go to any bank. At any independent exchange place, you can expect to have a calculator next to the window. Don't be afraid to count your money right there (all of those places have a sign that says please count your money AT the counter) - so you can make sure the amount is correct and they know you counted it right in front of them.
If you decide to go to one of those, this is our usual spot
it's in the same entrance as the notary.

So nobody will change my AUD?
USD, EUR, RUB, KGS, GBP, CNY, CHF - yes.
AUD - no. We call it exotic currency, even if you find an exchange that accepts AUD, the rate will be unfair.
Thank you for that information! I will ensure to have USD or EUR with me!
