Easiest way is just to use Vodafone for the lot. I forget the number, but
a websearch will find it for you. They allow sending of messages to all
3 networks for the cost of the call (it's a mobile number, but given the
call is short it's only going to be cheap).

There are dozens of programs out there to send TAP (aka PET) messages,
including ones which do web->sms/pager and email->sms/pager, etc.
Telstra also have a TAP number, but I don't think vodafone do.
