I don't see why not - they are two separate countries after all. I think your plan will work fine!

For Australia, you are limited to only being able to hold one Australian visa at any one time. Beyond that, it is acceptable to hold a concurrent visa for another country - this happens quite frequently for sponsored Australian business visa holders who need to travel to other countries as part of their employment.
