Ah, yes. I love gold fish and have cared for many!
Gold fish are by nature vegetarians. And they don't mind the flakes at all- they always think they are starving even though they aren't. (Funny little guys aren't they?)
If you want to give them a little extra, they love to eat plants. I'm talking about the pretty aquarium plant life you can buy at any fish carrying pet store. (As for the pet stores in Australia, I don't know about which they are.)
Most people buy these plants for decoration for their aquariums, but I always bought them for my fish to nibble on, and it makes for a healthy snack for them. Plus, the plants are pretty inexpensive. (around $1.00 here)

Flakes are fine as long as it's a reputable make, as goldfish are usually not that fussy about variety as long as they get to eat.
If you want to try a treat and if you can get them in S Australia, try dried ants eggs, as long as the fish are big enough to manage them. The directions should be on the container, but generally fish love them.
Hope that helps and good luck.
