I'd take it that someone is working on the software to do the job. Note 
that the person may have a real life to be getting on with too.

Someone else was doing NSW. Sorry I tend to forget names and just work 
with the data.

Tassie .. got to read the 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Data_Sources#Tasmania

and then sort out "Only datasets where the metadata indicates Land 
Tasmania is the custodian"

Most people live in NSW + Vic so having those done would be good. Then 
simply the major cities of Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth , Hobart and Darwin 
would get most  of the population.


-------------------

I have been adding addr:street to those places with addr:housenumber 
where possible. If you are adding addr:housenumber then it is not much 
more work to add the addr:street data. There are a few that are 
uncertain so I lave them alone. Australia has 98% of addr:housnumber 
with addr:street where as on a world scale only 90% of addr:housnumber 
have addr:streettoo.

So Yuchen Pei what are your thoughts/skills for adding address data to OSM?
