In my opinion you can submit your directory in google.com.au sites.Create a very good content then your competitor site.Which blog and forum are .au, Then participate in those blog and forum.Use of sitemap.

Hi Rebecca,

I have done all just waiting for Google places listing to get verified. But I am really struggling in finding local citation sites/article directories etc., it seems Australian based sites are rare

Set your target country as Australia in Google webmaster tool and register your site in Google places. Get links from local directories.
