I am new to looking up coordinates, etc.
However, I have some coordinates that I want to look for, but they are in MGA.
I am wanting to look up these coordinates on Google Earth and then try and export them to my vms.
From what I can discover Google Earth does not like these MGA coordinates and I have zero know how on trying to convert them to a readable coordinate to allow me to do the above.
Is anyone able to help?

Here's a handy online tool: epsg.io/transform#s_srs=4326&t_srs=3308 Hopefully you have some idea about your MGA zone, but as long as you've got that info you're good to go.

I assume that these coordinates are from Australia.
MGA is the Map Grid of Australia.
"Map Grid of Australia" is mentioned in three previous Q&As here, "MGA" is mentioned in 30 other questions, and NSW Government Spatial Services refers to it as:
The official coordinate projection for use with the Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94).
Projection: Transverse Mercator
Zone Width: 6 degrees
Longitude of Origin: Central Meridian of each zone
Latitude of Origin: Equator (zero degrees)
False Easting: 500 000
False Northing: 10 000 000
Central Scale Factor: 0.9996
Units: Metre
Ellipsoid: GRS80
More Information: Go to [ICSM][3] website.
The software that I use to convert from it to WGS 84 Web Mercator which Google uses as its coordinate system is ArcGIS Desktop.
