Hi @BriC,
Firstly, you'll need approval. This is from the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) to purchase.
Here are a few other obligations you may have. If you're planning to invest in Australia, you might be subject to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on capital gains made from the disposal of Australian property. Rental income is subject to Australian income tax.
