Keep in mind that this card is over double the cost of the Syba brand
from NewEgg. For some reason, it seems that the cards I've located in
retail stores are double what they are in the US. Taking into account
the exchange rate, they should be about the same cost - is $1AUD is
currently around $1.05USD.

I'm not familiar at all with product pricing (gauging) in AU.  The
Addonics card is only $8 more than the Syba card at Newegg, $35 vs $27
USD.  Isn't all PC hardware overpriced in AU, just like in the UK?  I've
seen numerous mobos and what not priced at over 300 pounds, making them
equivalent to over $1000 USD.  These were run of the mill upper midrange
Asus etc type boards that sell for less than $200 USD.

At this stage, I think my best bet for a new card is to get a mate in
the US to get one and ship it over. It is probably still cheaper than
buying locally.

If international shipping on a less than 1 lbs package is less than $30
then yeah, you'd probably save a little.

Sorry I couldn't get you better options, cost wise.  I recommended the
lowest price highest quality/compat cards available, in the US that is.
