I think some LHDs are the way to go (three preferably). That gives you the ability to operate ASW/attack helos (navalised Tigers anyone?), F-35Bs (simplified logistics with the F-35A purchase), and amphibous landing capability. Plus i'm sure the US would let Australia have some LCUs and AAVs for dirt cheap.
