Australia is about the only country that I am aware of that allows "practice autolands" to Cat 1 runways. It was not permitted when I was operating O/S. All autolands in whatever met conditions were only permitted on certified Cat 2/3 runways.
I work overseas and we have approvals for autolands at a good many airports that only have Cat I runways, and most of them AREN'T in Australia. In fact, our SOPs recommend an autoland any time the vis is below 1,500m or cloud base below 300ft, assuming the runway is autoland approved.
