Just checked and it seems that Australian Story is put up on Youtube.
Not sure if it's at the same time it airs on TV.

I usually watch through Iview but you need to make an account for that, it's free but I'm not sure if it's only if you are resident in Australia.

Also there is here Archive - Australian Story
Where you can watch without logging in. Once again not sure if you need to be in Australia to access it.

So far they have a 30 second trailer for the Valerie story.
