Yes the one Marc linked to is fine.
Jaycar staff may offer you the GH1379 which is a 12V 5A supply that is very popular due to price. I have heard of the occasional dead one, I sold a shed load of them and not one came back, but like anything electronic there is the possibility of the occasional bad production run.
These were made for Peltier Coolers, hence the GH code (Gadgets) instead of the MP code (Misc. Power) and the WACO style plug on it.
The GH1379's are regulated, but due to their intended use, the output isn't well filtered so may cause problems with some electronics. This will get worse when the supply is nearing it's max current output.
I would spend a bit extra and go for better filtering and more current handling from the MP3241.
