As an FYI on this, I ran iperf3 as a server on one of my hosted Astlinux boxes.
Seemed to work fine:

/usr/bin/iperf3 -s -p 5200 -D >/dev/null 2>&1
Open up firewall for UDP/TCP to port 5200

    Particularly useful for SIP VoIP is UDP and a bandwidth argument ...
    
    UDP upload test, test-bandwidth is 1000 kbps (approx. 10 ulaw simultaneous 
calls)

    The extra benefit here is the jitter and packet loss measurements.

    For you in Australia, finding a mainland public iperf3 server would be 
best, but give iperf.he.net a try ... possibly talk your ISP into implementing 
an iperf3 server.
