Meg Wamsley of Gunning and Pat Guinane of Goulburn were both thought missing for some time after the magnitude-7.9 magnitude quake.
It is understood Ms Wamsley, who works as a doctor with Everest ER, made contact with her family on Sunday.
Similarly, Mr Guinane, who as of 3:30pm April 28 was still listed as missing on the family links website, was announced safe via a Facebook post from his mother, Jane, at about 1pm Sunday. The family wished not to comment.
Many have not been so lucky.
More than 4,300 have been killed in the Nepalese capital of Kathmandu and surrounding areas, including Mt Everest.
Some 7,953 have been reported injured as a result of the quake and aftershocks.
As of April 28, over 1,150 Australians in Nepal had been accounted for by Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop.
