It's pretty simple really, no CAT III ILS's in Australia, not even any CAT II's for that matter!

It could however be argued that the number of foggy days in Australia doesn't warrant the added expense of these approaches, also the fact that fog in OZ only tends to hang around until mid morning, not 24/7 like LHR and some other European cities.
