Speaking as an Australian ex soldier, I can't see that happening as described, however they might be enlisted into the army perhaps even as a whole unit with fast tracked training, or cash may be provided to PNG so that they are technically the employing party (not like we don't already prop up the PNG government financially).
But the Australian government
directly hiring mercenaries? No, not likely.
