It's definitely not Australian, it's English. There are lots of types of English accents, so it may not sound like the "typical" English accent you've heard before. Specifically, the lizard sounds Cockney because he does that rhyming slang thing. You can Google this cockney rhyming slang for a translator if you've never heard it.
The Geico Lizard is famous for being the mascot for Geico Car Insurance. You can learn more about Geico car insurance online at the official Geico website.
No. Geico is an insurance company. A Gecko is, however, a lizard and thus a reptile.

Her name is Jennifer Marsala.
It does not have either of those accents. In one of the latest commercials he says he isn't British or Australian. I was searching and i found out he has a New Zealand accent.
He sounds Australian and also British at the same time to people. People from New Zealand have the same accent, so he has a New Zealand accent. Not British, nor Australian. New Zealand.
The voice for GEICO's Gecko is British actor and comedian Jake Wood. Mr. Wood's British accent is often mistaken to be Australian, however, rest assured the Gecko's accent is purely British.
The gecko in the Geico commercials does have a cockney (poor) British accent.
While often mistaken for Australian, the GEICO gecko's accent is British. More precisely, southeast English (London or home counties). The British/Australian mix-up is used to comic effect in a commercial set in a boardroom meeting. In the wild they are found in warm climates around the world.

If your talking about accent, then no. He is British.If your talking about where he lives, like the other user mentioned, he is from Madagascar being a Giant Madagascar Day Gecko!- The Leopard Gecko Girl
The Gecko from the Geico commercial is named Martin after The Martin Agency in Richmond, VA. While often mistaken for Australian, the GEICO gecko's accent is British. More precisely, southeast English, around London. See the link below for more of a biography. His name is clearly not Stanley as stated in a 2010 commercial in which he says, "My name is not Stanley . . . I'd hate to be Stanley."
The person who does his voice is from London, so therefor he is British. The Gekko is from the Philippines, even though he has an English accent. I know this because in 2000 timeframe. I was talking to my geico insurance representative in Washington DC and told her my nickname for GEICO insurance is "Gekko" When stationed in the Philippines I used to watch those little green lizards crawl up and down the walls of my home. They were so common, you just got used to them. When I joked with her about the harmless little lizards she said she would like to bring it up to geicos advertising department. Well it wasn't long after that I seen the little english accented lizard on television. I think to this day I had a hand in his creation.
Some think he's from England, but in the commercial he says no. Some also think he's Aussi [[Which I don't see how they could]] but in the same commercial he says no as well. So, with those two out of the picture, in my eyes he's Welsh. Welsh and English people often have the same accent.So, to make the story short, He Is Welsh!Cottondale FloridaActually, he's from our IMAGINATION!
The recent voice for the gecko is done by Jake Wood. Now for the record, the Geico Gecko has been voiced by Kelsey Grammar (the stiff English accent), Richard Steven Horvitz (the voice in the Kung Fu Fighting spot), and Dave Kelly (the relaxed British-Aussie accent).
