Oxys in Melbourne Aus come in 20, 40, 80 and 160 mg slow release tabs, and the endone come in a 5 and 10 mg instant release tab, and a 30 mg slow release suppository.
Just for the sake of HR please refer to the following document with both Morphine and Oxycodone formulations available in Australia.
SOLID ORAL MORPHINE and OXYCODONE PRODUCTS for PAIN RELIEF
Scroll to the bottom of page 4 for Oxycodone products sold in Australia.
As you can see, Endone is only sold in a 5mg prep, and the 160mg OxyContin is not sold in Aus.
Therefore, if you are buying anything else in Melbourne, they are most likely imports, and quality cannot be assured.

oxycodone, great drug or greatest?
Definately not the greatest.
As for the original question, the following is a list of opiates/opioids available in Australia.
Morphine
MS Contin tabs 5,10,15,30,60, 100,200 mg
MS Mono caps 30,60,90,120 mg
Kapanol caps 10,20,50,100 mg
Ordine liquid 1,2,5,10 mg/ml
Sevredol tabs 10,20 mg
Anamorph tabs 30 mg
Oxycodone
Oxycontin tabs 5,10,20,40,80 mg
Endone tabs 5 mg
Oxynorm caps 5,10,20 mg and liquid 1,10 mg/ml
Proladone suppositories 30 mg
Methadone
Physeptone tabs 10 mg
Hydromorphone
Dilaudid tabs 2,4,8 mg and liquid 1 mg/ml
Fentanyl
Durogesic patches 12, 25,50,75,100 mcg/hr
Buprenorphine
Norspan patches 5,10,20 mcg/hr
Temgesic sublingual tabs 200 mcg
Tramadol
Tramal SR tabs 50,100,150,200 mg
Tramal IR caps 50 mg
Codeine
Multiple codeine combinations
Dextropropoxyphene
Di-Gesic 32.5mg dextropropoxyphene HCl and 325mg Paracetamol.
As you can see, morphine is still the opiate of choice, and oxycodone is second in line if morphine is not appropriate. Codeine combinations can be brought otc, so they are normally prescribed when minor pain relief is required.
Obviously there are going to be some generics I have missed, but that is not the point here.
