Qld is only state where it is legal to buy green lasers over 1mw. I bought mine while up on holiday last year, but don't know if the astro shops will ship interstate.
If you get one be very careful, use is illegal without a permit which will set you back a fair bit. Although the rule in Vic is handheld lasers, it is usually interpreted as 'capable of being hand held' so even if it is attached to your scope, you may have a problem if the constabulary come a calling!
Eyepieces will make a difference, you get what you pay for though. The standard EPs are passable but only just, usually don't even bother with the 10mm except on moon and planets. Best advice is get along to an observing night and see what others are using and try them out.
One thing I would look at is a set of Bobs Knobs, makes collimation a breeze. Moon filter will make lunar observing much easier.
