Now the question is should this be tagged as the name or addr:housename? I know the latter is common in the UK though I couldn't find anything about best practice in Australia.

There are hundreds and hundreds of thousands of address:housename keys in OSM, widely distributed all around the world, including in Australia.  (Yes, this tag is especially dense in Europe).

See https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/?key=addr:housename#map for a map of "how dense."
