Does anyone know where I can get my 7A-FE converted to a 7A-GE in Melbourne, and for how much?

Don't know any where in melbourne... but it costed me doing it personally around $1500 in rings,bearings, head servicing... etc. they are as straight forward as you may think.

Might seem straightforward to you, but you have to bear in mind I'm not very mechanically minded

my bad 
Next question - if I plan on turbocharging/supercharging the engine in the future, should I leave it as a 7A-FE, or convert it to a 7A-GE?

if you want to turbo it do you realise there was a limited edition turbo corolla made in australia? it may be possible ot find a turbo manifold & modified ecu around that will bolt to the 7af (i know someone who priced a turbo ecu from toyota late last year ans dell over laughing - it was over $10k!!)
otherwise go the 7age - then you can use ahks type exhaust manifold.
you will need to change the rods & pistons - this can get expensive.
