Title, says it all:
Not strictly heraldic, but one may follow the other. We do chat a lot about Canada’s heraldry, perhaps Australia can follow in her footsteps.

Not sure that one follows from the other. Like many European countries, Australia had (and now again has) knights but never an official heraldic establishment. Canada has an official heraldic establishment but doesn’t have knights.
And of course Australia and many other countries have heraldry without heralds. For that matter (as is being discussed on the HSS forum right now), heraldry existed without heralds in England itself for 200-300 years, although of course it wasn’t called that.
