Doing Astro at the moment I can tell how it works down here.
here (University of Tasmania) and I think at most Uni's astro is part of a science degree.
Here I did an introductory course in astronomy, as well as maths and physics in first year, 2 astro courses in second year, and another 2 in third. I'm now doing honours in physics on radio astronomy.

I'm pretty sure Monash University runs a pure astro stream if you don't want to do as much physics.

I'd say Usyd, ANU, UNSW etc all have something similiar.
I'm pretty sure grade 11/12 physics (or equiv) is required, although there are bridging units.

Come to tassie! We have dark skies *grins*
