Yes. There are three species of locusts in Australia, and the Australian plague locust, Chortoicetes terminifera, is found only in Australia.

The Spur-throated locust, or Austracris guttulosa, is native to Australia, but also found in Indonesia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea and various offshore islands.

There is also the migratory locust (Locusta migratoria) which is found in many warm-temperature regions of world, as well as Australia.
