FAA will convert an Oz CIR with just a verification, but not a reciprocal arrangement.

Unfortunately this is incorrect. They will give you a PPL with IR for private use, but you will have to do a flight test and obviously meet the hour requirements for both a CPL and to have the IR to cover CPL too.
Exactly what was incorrect about my statement? Did I say anything about the CPL? The question was purely about IR. Expanding the answer into an area that wasn't asked about (the OP has an AUSTRALIAN CPL and wants to add the IR to his AUSTRALIAN license) to show how much you know doesn't make my answer incorrect.
The reference was only to the IR. Trust me, I know. I am converting my ATPL to FAA (not the other way round....funny....) as we speak, and I don't have to do another separate IR test. It was validated with my foreign private license. In Australia, you need to do a separate flight test.
