Pretty much the full list of energy sources are exploited in Australia, except for nuclear power. The energy source for nuclear power, uranium, IS to be found in Australia, so it depends exactly what you are looking for as to whether or not it should be included.
Non-renewable:
Gas
Coal
Oil
Renewable:
Hydro
Biofuels
Wind
Solar
Tidal

Wrong Gas ,oil, and coal are all renewable. Where do u think our original fossil fuels came from. After all the molten rock and volcanoes what produced all the fossil fuels. Mother nature has done it for millions of years.The bad CO2 in our air is the first step and the plants do it through photosynthesis . The plants take in the CO2 and hold on th the C and gives us back the O2. Ember that C the plants kept that accelerates the plants growth so they get bigger and can process more CO2. Then the winter comes along and the leaves die and fall off ,and wash down the river to the delta where it decomposes to form Gas ,Oil, and Coal after a long time.

Non-renewable sources of energy found and used in Australia include natural gas, coal, and oil.
A non-renewable source of energy found but not used in Australia is uranium.
Renewable sources of energy used in Australia include hydroelectricity, biofuels (limited use in some vehicles and biogas), wind power (currently experiencing a boom in popularity and political "encouragement", due to "green energy" being "really cool"), solar power (long been noted as ideal for australia, but political willpower has never quite given it any support).
Renewable sources of energy technically viable but not in use in australia include tidal generators (some in small scale prototype stages) and geothermal turbines (limited areas of suitability, and profitability concerns given the electricity market).
