Australia could lease submarines, complete with crews, in the short 
term. This would avoid investing in soon to be obsolete designs from the 
US or UK and loow for work on underwater drones and tactics to mature..

The RAN borrowed the Spanish Navy's supply ship Cantabria for nine 
months, before ordering two ships.

After a a few years Australia could thank the UK and the USA, and as 
they did with the French, say "No thanks, we don't want your submarines".

The Australian Government could then do what the average Australian does 
when they want cheap, reliable, transport: buy a
Hyundai. ;-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dosan_Ahn_Changho-class_submarine
