Quarantine cleaning to "as new standard". You have to be present and pay for the inspection.
Sydney is easier as you can ride out of the port without having to get inspections or permits from the State Government - other States require roadworthy inspections and "overseas registered vehicle permits".
Federal Government controls the entry of vehicles into Australia, but once in Australia the State Governments take over.
If you have a day you can do all the entry paperwork without a customs broker - get the carnet stamped by customs, get the clearance from the shipping company (pay any handling fees), get the quarantine inspection and clearance stamped, usually the customs inspection is done at the same time - push the bike to the gate and then ride off into the Sunset. Invariably the shipping company's offices will be on the opposite side of Sydney to the customs offices - so get a friend or a taxi to run you around.

I'd avoid NSW because of the CTP issue.
You don't need require roadworthy inspections and "overseas registered vehicle permits" since you'll be on the carnet.
We didn't need to be present for the quarantine check - in fact I don't think we'd have been allowed into the bonded area. We did a very good cleaning prior to shipping and Australian customs were happy - no cleaning required, no cost, no problem.
