Will the UK and Australian gap decrease?

There is currently a gap of about 6 months between the Australian episodes on Seven, and the UK episodes on five. For details why, see this question. The gap between the two countries will decrease, but it is happening at a very slow rate.

The Australian episodes take a summer break every year, between November and January. The show is also occasionally off the air for other events, such as the 2004 Olympics. In the UK, Home and Away is on the air all year round, even airing on Christmas Day if it falls on a weekday. Thus, the gap between the two will slowly decrease every time the show is off the air in Australia. However, the frequency of the breaks is so small that it will take years before the episodes the countries show are anywhere near each other.
