It has to be shipped by itself (can't be in your container). There are I believe inspection fees, you need to have owned it for at least one year and you will have to pay duty.
I had an older bike I wanted to take to Aussie but it was too much hassle and too expensive to make it worthwhile. Check out what your bike is worth over here and decide for yourself.
There is a possibility WA is even more restrictive than other states.
