I'm in New Zealand so the situation is similar to you. Although you have set up an account with A&R you need to set up a separate one to shop at kobobooks.com. Once you do this kobobooks will recognise you as being in Australia.
I buy all my books through the website (kobobooks) rather then via the desktop ap (in my case Whitcoulls - the equivalent of A&R). Download the epub from the website into ADE then you can transfer it to the kobo.
Enjoy
