DVD Region 2 includes:
Europe (except Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus), Middle East, Egypt, Japan, South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho, Greenland
While Australia belongs to Oceania which is in DVD Region 4. So I am afraid that it will be a little bit difficult to buy. More information about dvd region code here

DVD player zones (international/NZ Australia)?
Q. Will my Dvd player able to play zone 1 (usa/canada) dvds in zone 4 (NZ/Australia). I want to buy a dvd from amazon.com to play in NZ. The shop said it was international compatible when I got it, does that mean in will for sure or only maybe?
Answer
If the DVD player is a truly international player (an "all-regions" player) then yes, it will play nearly all DVDs.
However, be warned that some DVD's have been authored in such a way to prevent them from being played on many if not most all-region players.
The regions system used in DVD's is intended to allow each nation or region's copyright laws to be enforced in a reasonable manner in regards to the intellectual property rights of the owners of the copyrighted material on the DVD. Some IP owners are more agressive than others when it comes to ensuring that their DVDs will only play on the expected players.
