I would say no, you're not allowed to bring your turtle with you to australia. They have very strict laws about that sort of thing - people who live there are not allowed to own anything that's not native when it comes to turtles as far as I know, so importing them or bringing one in would not be allowed. In Queensland, it's illegal to even keep RES.

I found these on google as well:

A discussion on another turtle forum on the same topic can be found here:
