I've got an HP all in one printer/scanner/fax
Will the fax machine work in Australia?

Sure it will, but you'll need to rewire the plug Aussie style, which is a bit confusing as they don't have a fuse and there are other differences. Best consult an electrician when you get there.
[edit] not sure about the fax portion. Do aussie phone lines use and RJ11 connector?

You can buy an RJ-11 --> Other plug adapter for a few bucks.
