If you come in contact with a bat, seek medical advice even if you are in one of those countries! Lyssaviruses are a thing with which we do not fuck, even where the prevalence is much lower and it's not RABV.
Also every time this comes up, folks from Australia and the UK say they're very glad they don't have rabies in their bat population: you actually do! It's European bat lyssavirus/Australian bat lyssavirus, not "classic" RABV, and it's lower prevalence, but there have been fatalities from both.
DO NOT TOUCH WILDLIFE. DO NOT FEED WILDLIFE AND HABITUATE IT TO HANGING OUT AROUND HUMANS. DO NOT HANDLE WOUNDED WILDLIFE, CALL A PROFESSIONAL.
EXTREMELY DO NOT BREASTFEED BATS.
EXTREMELY DO NOT BREASTFEED BATS.
For those that don't know: Rabies can be treated, but not after you show symptoms. Once you show signs of infection you are dead man walking.

Also, some preemptive statements based on things people say a lot:
1: Yes, the UK and Australia do actually have rabies. It's not the same virus ("classical" rabies is RABV, Australia has ABLV and the UK has two strains of EBLV) but y'all should still seek medical care after a bat exposure.

Do not shrug off a bat exposure because "we don't have rabies here". You do: what you don't have is RABV, but both EBLV and ABLV can still be fatal. If you are bitten or scratched by a bat, seek medical attention immediately.

Even in countries where RABV is not present (parts of Europe for example) other lyssaviruses are still present and can cause rabies in humans. Do not approach any bats! Remove yourself from the bat's presence and call a professional to come collect it.
