Hi Will, Welcome to the list and I concur with the previous respondents and working through some of the projects initially is an excellent starting point. Whilst not in Australia, the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOTOSM) needs a bit of assistance with one of our neighbours at https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/12728 and that also would be an excellent place to delve into.
With automated or semi automated asset creation, one key concern is uploading content that needs to be removed after a shift in policy or should not have been loaded in the first place. If going down this path, can we ask for a plan and within that plan, a process to update a small area that can be socialised. There is also OSGeo Oceania <https://osgeo-oceania.org/> that you may be interested in joining (yes, I do have a conflict of interest here) and the Pacific Geospatial Conference 2022 <https://ti.to/foss4g-oceania/pacific-geospatial-conference-2022> in late November (oops, another conflict here as well) will offer you a lot of insight into the community and processes. Once again welcome!
