There is only one species of platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) so the kind you find in Eastern Australia and Tasmania is the same one you find everywhere else that it lives. (Of course Eastern Australia and Tasmania is about the only place you will find the platypus in the wild - and note that Tasmania is actually part of Australia.)
