While i haven't moved a cat overseas, i have moved my dog from Canada to Europe. You will need to do some research to learn what your cat will need to go. You will need certain shots, paperwork and possibly an ID microchip (ISO Standard most likely). You should be able to find the appropriate information from an Australian immigration site, just look for requirements on importing domestic animals.
Also, if your cat isn't too big, you could bring him on-board with you rather than sending him in the luggage hold. My dog was small enough when we traveled and she just stayed in her carrier under my seat. I felt very safe travelling that way. Having said that though, many airlines offer temperature control in the luggage dept for pets that are traveling. Thousands and thousands of animals are transported by plane every year, there are generally very few problems. They do exist but the same way a problem could occur to you and I.
Do make sure that you don't sedate your cat or give him any medication before flying; any reputable vet will tell you the same thing, as you never know how the medication will react with your cat when combined with the high altitude.
If it seems too much for you to handle on your own, you can always hire a pet transporter. They will take care of everything and make sure that your pet is delivered to you.
There is a pet travel website that I use all the time and can supply you with a lot of information that you may be looking for. I hope that i've been able to help you and if you would like any more information, please feel free to email me as i have had to research this subject a lot for my dog and continue to do so as she travels frequently with us!

you may ought to take them to the vet to analyze them, then on the airport tell the individuals there about your animals. If the cage is sufficiently small, they're going to likely let it bypass as a carry-on. If no longer, it is going to bypass in a distinct airplane made for animals which could no longer very secure for some thing like small birds.
