Legally, there does not need to be anything done in Australia to result in the change from queen to king. That happens automatically as soon as a monarch dies. When Queen Elizabeth II died, Charles immediately became king of Australia.
The Governor-General's role does not change following the death of The Queen. As the transition to the new Sovereign is automatic, the Governor-General will automatically be His Majesty The King's representative in Australia.

The simple answer is No. Australia does not pay a cent for the maintenance or security of the Sovereign.
According to the prime minister, Queen Elizabeth II was the only reigning monarch to ever visit Australia and "it was clear from her first trip that she had a special place in our hearts." "Over the coming weeks, Australia will continue to commemorate our late Queen," said Albanese.
Charles, the Queen's eldest son, will inherit the throne. If the monarchy ceased to exist, King Charles III would have to give up Buckingham Palace. Kate Middleton and Prince William would pursue financial independence like the Sussexes.
"What will most likely happen is that the Prince of Wales assumes more of his mother's official duties but, unless she becomes incapacitated, his present status will not change," he said.

There has only been one major attempt to test the indissolubility of the Commonwealth.
When the Queen passes the country will have a time of National Mourning of 10 days. Schools will not be compelled to close during this time but it's possible some will choose to. At the end of the National Mourning the Queen's funeral will be held on a Bank Holiday when schools will close.
After a historic 70 years on the throne as Britain's longest-serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96, at her home at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, on Sept. 8, 2022. Immediately upon her passing, her eldest son, Prince Charles, became the new king.
Even if the Queen had desired to skip Charles in favor of William, she did not have the power to choose her successor on a whim. The 1701 Act of Settlement is the act of Parliament that determines the succession to the throne and requires that a monarch's heir must be his or her direct successor (and a Protestant).
What if the queen had become unable to rule? In the event that Queen Elizabeth could not have actually acted as queen, such as in the case of severe illness, a regency with Charles as Prince Regent would have been formed.
