Try using NEW_TIME function , NEW_TIME returns the date and time in time zone z2
when date and time in time zone z1 are d. Here I go with an example :

select new_time(sysdate,'GMT','PST');

I am not sure Australia falls in which zone, any how I enclosed a list of zones
check out by yourself

AST, ADT: Atlantic Standard or Daylight Time
BST. BDT: Bering Standard or Daylight Time
CST, CDT: Central Standard or Daylight Time
EST. EDT: Eastern Standard or Daylight Time

GMT: Greenwich Mean Time
HST, HDT: Alaska-Hawaii Standard Time or Daylight Time. MST, MDT: Mountain Standard or Daylight Time NST: Newfoundland Standard Time
PST, PDT: Pacific Standard or Daylight Time YST, YDT: Yukon Standard or Daylight Time

Hope this might help you..
