According to an internet search, Australia experienced one earthquake of 2.0 magnitude or greater every day during the first decade of the 21st century. Tremors that scare the residents occur every 1-2 years. Potentially destructive earthquakes occur about every 5 years.

Will medium sized earthquakes prevent larger earthquakes in the future?

In some areas, this is true. Earthquakes are often the result of unreleased, pent-up stress. If this stress is not released, there is a stronger chance of a more devastating earthquake occurring.
