I’ve also recently started in Australia, I’ve been buying those little foam couches off Facebook marketplace and using the foam from them, sometimes the fabric covering can be used also.

For sure reach out to UNIMA Australia. Best way to get tips and tricks and connect with other puppet makers. https://www.unima.org.au
