The three main places I go for Volvo parts is Tasca parts, FCP euro, and IPD. Tasca is a Volvo dealer so they have the largest variety of original parts and no aftermarket, FCP euro has a large variety of aftermarket but they also have some original Volvo parts, IPD has performance parts and parts for older models but they also have a mix of aftermarket and original. They are all good and reputable. You would have to contact them and ask if they ship to Australia. IPD probably will, they are under new ownership and their main goal is to improve shipping (speed and cost).

Mine failed on me the other day, the bolt in the hatch stripped out. I found replacements for $30 here in Austin TX used. What I did however it I drilled out the stripped threads and tapped it with a 10mm bolt with the same 1.50 thread spacing
the old bolt was 8mm x 1/1.50
the new bolt is 10mm x 1/1.50
the tap, bolts and washers cost me about $10 and I did both sides while I was at it, add some thread lock and its stronger than original.
