Australian formatting as suggested by the Script Centre does not correspond with an format provided by major script writing packages - Celtx or Final Draft - which leaves Australian's writing scripts in Word and manually or by macro formatting the damn thing. US formatting seems to be a hybrid between the film and theatre formats we in Australia are used to. Further, depending who is looking at your script, they might want it in the US/International format regardless. In all events you're going to end up do a bucket load of formatting.
