With many thanks to gumby in the comments for the tipoff, the New Zealand version of the EA Store now has the Creature Creator listed on their front page.
I checked to be sure and I can confirm that if you add it to your cart you can indeed set your country to Australia in the order form, so it ought to go through just fine if you’re an Aussie.
And if you’re a Kiwi, step away from the sheep and go order already. :-)
If you order via the NZ EA Store and it works fine, please let us know in the comments so we can recommend it to others!

(Note: You have to go via the front page as attempting to link directly to the product page brings up an unavailable message.)
Thanks again, gumby!
[Update]
Courtesy of Ragman in the comments, you can also purchase a copy of the Creature Creator for digital download via the American EB Games website.
You could also order the boxed copy to be sent to you from there, but it’s a hefty $30 you have to pay for shipping. Not recommended for a $10 game!
[Update]
EB Games have changed their Creature Creator page and you can no longer order it from them if you’re outside the US, Canada and Mexico.
oddlily in the comments also confirms that the New Zealand EA Store continues to accept Australia-based orders. If you haven’t ordered it yet, may want to get in soon. No telling when they’ll change their minds too!
