I suspect that the sub-regions that got added at 
http://download.geofabrik.de/ got added because someone asked for them, 
so you could always try that!

Failing that someone who's not on a mobile phone connection would need 
to download the .pbf for Australia and then split it with Osmosis 
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis).  Given the shape of the 
state boundaries I'd have thought that simple lat/long based splitting 
would work, with only Vic/NSW/ACT being at all "complicated".

Cheers,
Andy
