They have the Tetenal E-6 kit.

As well as Kodak E-6 First Developer Replenisher and Starter, Reversal Bath, Colour Developer Replenisher and Starter (may need to get them to add this one to catalogue), Fixer, Pre-Bleach, and Bleach, etc, as well as Final Rinse.

I bought the Freestyle Rapid E6 kit. If you buy that however you need to get a stabilizer to supplement it. C41 stab works fine. I'm using Kodak Flexicolor stab III

If Tetenal is not in stock, they have to wait till more comes in from overseas.

Last I saw, I saw some RA-4 and E-6 in stock on the shelf, that was at the shop, they may have more at the warehouse. You will need to call and ask on their stock level. It is just the way it is.

I don't know of any other choices available in Australia. I don't know if Photo Continental would even carry colour stuff let alone deliver it to you.

Better chance of finding one down under than in the USA !!!

I buy the Fuji 5L kits from Ag Photographic in the UK. Does about 40-50 rolls at $4/roll once you factor in shipping.

try Photo Impex amd Maco direct out of Germany, that is where I get my kits, shipped to the USA.

Maco direct is good. they can ship a lot of stuff out of their country unlike freestyle.

I think the only one left in the USA is arista. I wonder how much is would cost to ship from europe?
Probably not very cost effective. The only other alternative here would be to buy bulk kodak chemistry. That would really cost a fortune !!! Not really great for a hobbyist !!!

Why don't you gather a few people at APUG, get bulk chemicals from Kodak and split them?

It could also work as a small business idea.

I've thought about this, but the hazmat fees makes it unattractive unless you have a group buy of people who are geographically situated so that everyone can pick up their share.

From a "small business" perspective it's a money loser. You cannot turn the product regularly. If it was really a money maker you can bet your bottom dollar Formulary, or someone, would be doing it. Hell, I would be doing it just to get my own stash. I've got a loading dock and permits.
