Perhaps check with the supplier before committing to the buy?

Yes, I get the feeling that may be the case.
I actually emailed one of our well known Australian battery suppliers to ask if they had considered producing lithium batteries in such a format but received no response.
Some of the aliexpress sites offering them for sale say they have depots in the US and European countries from where they ship to customers within those zones but not Australia. Probably bulk shipped to those countries to avoid the international air and sea lithium battery shipping issues.
I do intend to follow up with further enquiries and maybe that might stimulate their thinking to establish a depot here. I know some aliexpress sites have done that with other products to help improve their competitiveness.
