... You can have an electrician install universal outlets but I doubt it is legal to have 120 Volts @ 60 Hz hard wired to the outlets. (I'm guessing, I don't know the legality of it)
For the value of your gear I am not sure I'd bring it over here. Only you can really make the judgment call but I *think* you might find the whole process a giant PITA.
I assume you want several full systems set-up which will mean several transformers etc.
Also if you have a room wired for 120V @ 60 Hz then most things electrical you buy in Australia won't work in that room. (A modern TV might but not much else, not even a damn lamp!)
Yes, prices here are different to prices there. The way many on this site whinge about the price of fuel... well let's just say; you are going to get a shock here! :)
Also, rents and real estate prices are generally a lot higher here. Depends if you are moving to a city or a regional area.
Here is a pic of the universal power board I mentioned;
