No. Along the eastern seaboard, the coast up north is protected by the Great Barrier Reef, so the tsunami would break over that with resultant energy dissipation. Further south, the plate movement between Australia and New Zealand results in horizontal displacement - for a tsunami to develop, vertical displacement is required. Only last week an 8.1 Richter tremor occurred off Macquarie Island with no resultant significant tsunami. The greatest risk remains to the (relatively unpopulated) northwest of Australia where there is much activity and plate movement results in vertical displacement. Also activity around Tonga/Vanuatu could result in tsunami that would affect the southeastern seaboard. It should also be noted that a tremor > Richter 7 is required for tsunami generation and that these are unusual events. [Report message to a moderator]
