To make Jupiter clearer, a better quality eyepiece, with greater contrast will help.
Honestly though, getting the scope really well collimated will help more, the difference between an OK collimation on a C8 and a really good collimation makes a huge difference on Jupiter. You are in Sydney, so it should be easy to find someone who can help. The money might be better spent on some Bobs Knobs to help with collimation than on a filter.
Many of the filters for viewing jupiter change the colour to bring out the contrast, but a good eyepiece and better collimation will most likely improve your views greatly. The view through a 14mm ES will blow the current view via the 25mm eyepiece you have away.
A cheap TMB planetary eyepiece (about $50?) at high magnification could be an option as well.
