Gday mate to you to.  Welcome to the forum, Riley.  There is an Aussie beek topic, sure they will be glad to help.  I would see if there is a bee club near by, and join if there is.  Good luck to you

Riley, welcome to the forum, as suggested by Joe it is highly recommended to join a local club as they have the information on where the best places are to purchase resources etc.

I don't know how close they are to you but there is a Amateur Beekeepers Association  Hunter Valley Branch (contact Jim Wright 0249593138 or email jwr81149@bigpond.net.au

All the best in beekeeping
