Sounds like you're an Australian resident for tax purposes. Refer to 'Work out your residency status for tax purposes' (https://www.ato.gov.au/Calculators-and-tools/Work-out-your-tax-residency/) to confirm your residency status. If you are an Australian resident and that is your only job i.e., don't have two jobs or more, then yes you can claim the tax-free threshold (https://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Jobs-and-employment-types/Working-as-an-employee/Income-from-more-than-one-job/#Howtoclaimthetaxfreethreshold).
