Don't know if this is a term used differently in other parts of Aus, but here in Perth it is the equivalent of the reception year in England or Primary 1 in Scotland.

Hi I don't know really know much about that age group at all, but when I was going through the Queensland Education website saw this page and thought it may (or may not!) be of some use.
