Sorry to hear this Callum. You must file a police report that it is stolen.
I take it you don't have MobileMe with 'find my iPhone' activated on the iPhone? If you did you could put a message on the screen, or wipe the data. Sounds like you have contacted your carrier and reported it stolen & they have blocked the IMEI number which will then make it unusable in Australia. All networks will have a copy of it.. because the owner would have it registered against their SIM card.. Each time you log onto the network, make a call.. even when the phone swaps network towers the IMEI is registered from the phone to the network and recorded... which is what the network would use to block it with... and that information is passed onto each of the networks to add to their Stolen Phone registry to block logging onto the network. Was the iPhone purchased from Apple?
