Eh, service in Australia is generally not particularly great. This is often a function of staffing though, since wages are expensive (national minimum wage $19.84/hr) and many Australian restaurants consequently either operate with a skeleton staff, pay under the table (migrants/students are brutally exploited), or both. Japan, on the other hand, has incredible service and absolutely no tips.
