There is no specific name for the islands of Oceania. They are sometimes called the islands of the South Pacific, and sometimes they are referred to as Australasia but Oceania comprises too large an area to restrict any island groups to another name.

And no, another name for Oceania is notAustralia.

No. There is no other name for the continent of Australia. Australia lies within the geographical region of Oceania, but it is not an alternative name for the continent. It is sometimes colloquially known as "Down Under".
