Bit late, been through absolute hell, but it's coming. Some titles are
in development, others ready to print/publish. More still not listed here.
=== The Spiel ===
Centerpoint - Science-fiction set in low orbit amidst the ruins of a
previous age. Hard action with a '1950s pulp meets Robotech' flavor.
Cornerstone - Hubris made us fall. Unlimited conquest could not be
maintained, and the godless world of Ag'deris is the result - a ruined
shell of it's former glory, beset by deities, feuding, restless souls,
and worse beyond all, the Trolls and their servants now returned... OGL
fantasy game returning to 3.5esque d20 rules, with a unique setting,
easier systems for combat and actions, and an ongoing metaplot.
Dawn - Science fantasy in a postmodern universe; humanity has overcome
much to put a foothold in the stars. But can they stay there, when the
forces against them span not just space, but magic as well?
Mayor Rumble - Politicians often say they'll fight for our rights. In
2030, new federal laws force them to put their money where their mouths
are. Take part in our new government! Defend your city, or fight to
conquer your neighbours in no-holds-barred gladiatory arenas! Might
doesn't make right - but it sure as hell lets you rule!
Zombie Madness - The apocalypse has happened. A virus wiped out most of
the human population in a night, leaving behind flesh-eating monsters
without thought or conscience... and you. Take the role of one of the
few zombies still left with their minds intact. Defend those that still
live. Seek revenge for past wrongs. Herd your less-intelligent kin into
pens and set up shop as the world's first "Zombie Burger". Inspired by
Sean of the Dead, Wraith: the Oblivion, and Invader Zim; don't let being
dead get you down.
=== The Caveat ===
You ask about aussie-made RPGs; the problem is that there IS no market
here. Compared to the USA (71%), Australia holds a whopping 3% of the
tabletop games market (data provided by surveys; Paizo Publishing)
That's not 'developers'; the market. So there's likely to be a lot of
other "aussie made" RPGs out there - that aren't floated in our market
at all, but instead taken overseas, repackaged by White Wolf/Wizards of
the Coast/etc, and then floated back after the disgustingly bad local
distribution network (that has a turnover in months, rather than days)
sees to it.
But we're out there, still. And it's something to say the games started
here, no?

Card-based, but a real (simple) RPG.
In the school of dungeon bash rather than emoting...
