hey Irishman i'm having troubles with this too.
From some researching I see most aussies are use spendbitcoins.com.
I can't get to a bank easily so I went for what seems to be the other option, bitpiggy.herokuapp.com. You can transfer money with them but with new customers they have a $50 limit to begin with. SBC has no limit. 

Now can anybody that uses bitpiggy tell me if it's normal to wait 2 days for your coins? I transferred $50 on tuesday night it is now thursday and no coins. I copy pasted all transfer details with wallet address so did i miss something? Have I been duped so therefore should Irishman  steer clear and head to sbc?

regards,

coins then took 30mins to transfer to wallet.

All is good with bitpiggy.com

I thought bitpiggy was down? Huh. I see it's up again, and with a cheaper price than sbc.

spendbitcoins is great. Very good service, highly anonymous and the owner "Jeremy" is very responsive to enquiries you might have.
The only downer is the exchange rate is so bad it's almost a Forex outlet, but you pay for convenience and to mitigate his risk.
