Huh? You want to exclude files that start with AUS and end with either .txt or .csv and yet you don't want to exclude AUS.2013.txt (which starts with AUX and ends with .txt)???

Your requirements are not at all clear!

If you can't clearly answer the following two questions, I don't see how we will ever be able to help you:
  1. Why are you opposed to using the cd command so you can run gzip in the directory where the files you want to compress reside?
  2. What files (including the directory where they are located, the type of files to be processed, and the names of the files in that directory) are to be excluded (or included) in the operand list to be given to gzip?

The following will gzip all regular files in the specified directory (and only in that directory) that have names that do not both start with AUS and end with either .csv or .txt:
Code:
cd directory_containing_files_you_want_to_gzip
gzip `find . ! -name . -prune -type -f ! -name 'AUS*.csv' ! -name 'AUS*.txt'`
