No.

They were screening you at Sydney airport when i went in May for swine flu, but i'm not sure if they still do it.

No, you don't need anything to come here.

it may depend on if you are having any stopovers along the way

straight in/out of Oz = no jabs required

Not sure about the age of your kids, but you might wish to be aware of a whooping cough outbreak www.nathnac.org/travel/news/pertussis_171109.htm.

For all other info about travelling to/in Australia, see standard Foreign Office advice, which is updated regularly www.fco.gov.uk/en/travel-and-living-abroad/travel-advice-by-country/asia-oceania/australia?ta=health &pg=5

Have a great trip.
