Can I get an Australia SIM Card From Outside of Australia?

Getting a local Australian mobile SIM card from outside of Australia is pretty challenging. You need an Australian ID, an Australian address, and you have to activate your SIM inside Australia.

What about eSIM for travel?

Some travel eSIMs offer local numbers that allow calls and SMSes. Unfortunately, most of them are data-only. Meaning, even if you purchase an eSIM for travel, chances are it won't have a number and won't work for SMS Verification.
