Firstly you need to check you qualify for a visa. All other questions are moot until such time. Give a bit more info - your ages, jobs and qualifications and I'm sure our Oz people will be along with succinct info!

on the assumption that you qualify for a visa, there is at least one ice rink in each state and territory (some have many) - google is your friend:

Good schools abound, so it is most likely to come down to where you find work and a home before looking at skating and schools

As others have said, you need to see if you qualify for a visa first.
In order to assist you with that, we would need to know the following:
Ages of all in family - reason, there are age limits on visas
Occupations of parents - visas are occupation based
Qualifications and time in occupation - you need the appropriate skills and this can be different to the UK
Any health issues - This can cause major issues
Any issues with criminal records - Again, can cause issues

First work out if you can get a visa, if not then all else is a waste of time. And Australia isn't really known for its figure skating talent if you were looking for high flying coaching and competition.

Central Coast is not to far from a city ( Sydney and Newcastle both 1.5hrs away, which is quite close in Australian terms ) has a skating rink and lots of good schools. It seems to attract UK migrants and has a good beach and country lifestyle. As others have said, maybe sort out the visa situation first if you havn't already.

If you're quick, there's an ice rink open for the next month or so at this shopping centre in Ringwood:
No Cookies | Herald Sun
I went past one day last week and hardly anyone was using it.
