EU law says that it's only legal to transfer personal data to companies that have adequate level of protection for personal data. Certain countries are considered to meet the adequacy requirement, but Australia is not one of them[1], so you probably need to meet the requirement using a contract[2]. You should probably consult a lawyer.
