Account not valid for use in uk store ?

I’ve updated my account to be in the uk so I can download two apps I need that are available in the uk only. I’m in Australia. This error keeps popping up and saying I need to switch back to the Australian store to get them. The apps are not available in the Australian store.

how have other people got around this?

is it my VPN?

thanks
