Don't know how much time you've got but an excellent place to contact is:
Research and Information Centre
Australian Film Institute
49 Eastern Road
SOUTH MELBOURNE, VIC  3205
Australia
 
You can fax them on +61 3 696-7972 and in any communications ask for Carol
Abbott.
 
I don't have the details to hand but they have published a small book on
Shame, a recent feminist feature (1988). There is also a Women in Film and
Television unit located, I think, at Film Victoria (a state funded film
body). Again unfortunately I don't have the address immediately to hand,
but let me know if you'd like it.
