Yay Loulabelle!!!!

Give 'em a call. I don't think there are any laws in place- nothing has currently really changed with regards to home birth with an independent midwife. Just don't expect your MW to be able to bill to medicare. And if you possibly want to birth at home outside of the box (twins, breech etc) you'll need to find a midwife who's happy to have an "oopsie" and don't have ANY scans (evidence of twins etc).

The Midwives Naturally crew may be less likely to come to your area, but I'd call Helen anyway. I luv her! Otherwise, check out east Melbourne based midwives. I've heard good recs for Andrea Bilcliff and Joy Johnson. There's also a small team at eastsidemidwives dot com.
