Not sure what you mean. Australia drives on the left side of the road, so the driver's seat is usually on the right side. But if you have a left hand drive, you can use it without converting. Just remember that you have to drive on the left hand side of the road, so the driver's seat will be on the curb side of the road.
Are you importing a car to Australia from somewhere else?

This is from the website : Wikipedia, on the subject "right-hand drive".

"For safety reasons (and in some cases political or economic reasons), some countries have banned the sale or import of vehicles with the steering wheel on the "wrong" side.


In Australia this is the case with non-vintage (i.e. less than 30 years old) LHD vehicles, with the result that Australians who import such vehicles usually must pay sometimes thousands of dollars to convert them to RHD. The exceptions are for vehicles registered in Western Australia and the Northern Territory - both which have at various times hosted U.S. military facilities and had vehicles imported, used and sold by U.S service personnel in circulation. Both are also relatively flat and thinly populated, reducing the collision/overtaking base risk which is the declared rationale excluding their use in other states. The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) previously allowed non-vintage LHD vehicles to be registered, but changed its legislation some years ago.

No need to change anything just be sure to drive on the correct side of the road to avoid a head on collision....
