Sorry can't help you with today's street rate.
We have just returned home after 3 weeks. This was my observation of the rate of exchange whilst I was there.
Rate in Sanur was far better than Tuban/ Kuta.
The best I got during our stay was 9 545 rp and this was only for one day.
I used an official type money changer that had a counting machine.
They never attempted to short change customers.
The rate always seemed best around mid day on Thursdays.
I usually find the AUD lags a bit on the first Tuesday of each month when the Reserve Bank Meets. So keep this in mind and perhaps hold off a little if you can.
The Rp never reached the listed exchange rate that I saw on the Internet, so doubt you will get 9950rp.
Have a wonderful 4 weeks :)
