If you have a business registered in Australia its really not a big deal to register a .com.au domain. Without this though, it is difficult. Check your preferred domain is available, register the business and then purchase the domain. Maybe consider appointing an Australian accountant to register your business as a starting point? Feel free to PM me if you need assistance with .com.au domains as I'm an approved reseller.
