Australia is getting a new $20 note.

The design was released on Friday ahead of its launch into circulation in October.

The new note will keep the portraits of two significant Australians - ex-convict, entrepreneur and philanthropist Mary Reibey and the Reverend John Flynn, who set up the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

It will have the same world-leading security features as the other new notes, the Reserve Bank of Australia said.

It will also have three raised bumps along each edge to assist people who are blind or have low vision.
