Lead is a non-issue; a 5M-E will run just fine on unleaded, as will practically any Jap engine built since the mid-70's.
Having said that, don't waste your money rebuilding that boat anchor of an engine. Take this as an opportunity to upgrade to something decent! A 5M-GE or 6M-GE is the easiest but it's getting harder to find a good one. 7M-GE is a bit harder but still pretty straightforward, and being a newer engine this is possibly a better option.
Of course if it was me I'd be aiming for something more modern and powerful like a 1JZ-GTE or 1UZ-FE, but it depends how far you want to go I guess!
All of the above are legal in NSW and Qld; not sure about SA but I doubt you'll have any problems.
