The power supply itself is fine (120v-240v-style of thing), but you'll
need to change the mains-power lead that plugs into it.
It comes with a cable suitable for America (120v, American-style 3-prong
plug with a clover-leaf plug on the other end (which goes into the power
supply).
You want a cable suitable for Australia (240v, Australian-style 3-prong
plug with a clover-leaf plug on the other end. You may have one of these lying around from an old Dell laptop power
supply or similar; they're not uncommon.
(clover leaf == "C5 line socket"
