As a member of an Astronomy club you don't need a permit to carry one or use it for Astronomy purposes. Astronomy club members are exempt from requiring a permit.
I am in NSW so maybe confirm your states Regs.
You only need the permit if you want to import one. I would not go down that path. It can get very complicated.
Just buy one from an Aussie seller on EBay and there won't be any problems. There are a few.
