Hi Ronny,
Australia (Therapeutic Goods Administration) has quiet strict drug rules & regulations - any such antibiotic treatments can usually only be prescribed by a Dr (for humans) or veterinarian (for your pets).

Unfortunately you cannot get any of these over the counter (OTC) here in Australia -unless you have some sort of 'contact ' or get them from overseas (some antibiotics are avail OTC in other countries).
Here in Australia we don't have these particluar antibiotics/brands - although you will find alternatives of the same drug class.

What treatment/antibiotic you use will depend on what you are treating - I usually refer to my Dieter Untergasser 'bible' of Fish Diseases, and if that particular treatment is not avail here in Australia, I then try to get the next best alternative.

Hope this helps
Cheers
