You can get the Australian voice immediately by changing the voice in settings > General > International > format region, but the voice will be the compact one so turning compact voice off and on will show no change in the voice you hear though it will now be Australian. So Australian will be your default at that point but you will only be able to access the compact voice until the hq voice downloads. Also, even if Australian is default, if you set another voice in the language rotor, you will of course hear that voice but it won't become the default.
