In Oceania, Google Street View is available in most parts of Australia and New Zealand.

On 4 August 2008, the long-anticipated image collection of Australia was introduced. At this time, 18 camera icons were added. Extensive mapping of New Zealand was included on 1 December 2008. On 9 December 2008, Darwin, Australia, and other locations were included.

On 30 October 2009, Google Australia announced that they would be sending its fleet of cars back on the road from November 2009 to update Street View Australia with new images.

In June 2010, Google Street View ceased operations in Australia after its Street View cars were found to have been collecting Wi-Fi data from home Wi-Fi networks.{{cite web|url=http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/366213/google_street_view_cars_no_longer_operation_australia/|title=Google: Street View cars no longer in operation in Australia|author=Chloe Herrick|accessdate=2013-01-19|archive-date=2015-11-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117015128/http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/366213/google_street_view_cars_no_longer_operation_australia/|url-status=dead}} In May 2011, Google Australia stated that they had removed all the Wi-Fi sniffing equipment and that they planned to shoot Australian roads again, but did not provide a specific timetable.{{cite web|url=http://www.techworld.com.au/article/385384/google_australia_lays_future_street_view_privacy_measures/ |title=Google Australia lays out future Street View privacy measures – Street View, security, privacy, Google, data – Privacy – Security |publisher=Techworld |date=5 May 2011 |accessdate=December 16, 2011}} Driving did not recommence in Australia until 2013. On 27 July 2011, major urban and regional centres of Australia were updated with the new HD imagery.

In February 2015 another update of Australia with HD imagery was released, as part of the first update in Northern Territory after the low-resolution imagery. It also affected parts of Western Australia and Queensland. However, some places still have only low-resolution imagery or don't even have Street View coverage at all. As of April 2024, the updates of Australia footage are ongoing, with most areas now having high-quality, recent imagery.
