Those maps with property borders are most likely using PSMA CadLite
https://www.psma.com.au/products/cadlite which is neither free in terms 
of license or cost.

For address points there is PSMA GNAF
https://data.gov.au/dataset/geocoded-national-address-file-g-naf which
is free in terms of license (albeit depending on your definition) and
cost, which has been imported into https://openaddresses.io/.

I understand you're able to make your own maps which include OSM and
GNAF together so long as you follow the terms of both the GNAF license
and the OSM license.

GNAF is simply address points, I see OSM and GNAF as being able to
evolve independently, in OSM you generally attach the address
information to some other feature whereas in GNAF it's just a point.
