As I intend to stick around for the longer term, I opted for a Certificate, however I did look into various options, but it was a while back.
When I was researching it, you can go to a broker and make arrangements through them, but read the fine print for costs/fees/money transfer etc. Alternatively you can open a "non-resident account" through certain banks there. Min. deposit required for some (off memory around $1K) and open a trading account through them. Buying and selling monies going into/out of such account less trading fee. Don't take that as gospel, I'm only going off memory so DYOR there, I can't remember whether there was a cost or not for maintaining the account.
Research the various banks there before going, make sure you read the fees/costs etc, then go speak to them when over there, don't forget your passport and drivers license as it will be required to open a non-resident account. I think OCBC was the one I was looking at mainly because they have an office in Castlereagh Street, Sydney. When I get around to it I intend to speak to them first in Sydney.
