You can buy any SIM you like of our article as long as it is prepaid (ricaribile): Tourists SIMs, Foreigner SIMs, SIMs for locals. Just show your passport in the provider store for registration. This will be done there, not like in Australia online or over the phone.

Using only little data and calls or texts only, you might check Australian or international roaming offers too. An Italian SIM card cost you €10-15 for a start and so it might be only the better option if you use it for data.
