Yes, women can be in the Australian Army, but they cannot be in direct combat roles. 10.6 % of the positions are occupied by women.
In many countries, women were not allowed in combat. But there were cases of women fighting, generally because it was necessary for survival. There were women in the French Resistance. There were women fighting in the Russian Air Force.

Australian women became more independent due to the responsibilities the women had to face when the men went to war.
The reason that women cannot enter the SEAL program is that women are currently prohibited by law to engage in direct combat as part of ground forces. However, that requirement does not prohibit women from EOD Team duty.

Women entered World War II in non-combat roles. They were clerks, nurses, mechanics, and secretaries.
(in the US) Until recently females were prohibited from serving as crew on submarines, however that has been rescinded. Currently the only duty prohibited to women is to engage in ground combat as members of the Infantry. In this day and age, that prohibition is becoming less and less relevant.
Some organisations that were developed in world war 2 are as follows; The Land Armies, the Nursing Services.e.g- Australian Army Medical Women's Service.etc. Australian Women's Army Service
