For the same reasons that others did.

Further information:

The first Jews in Australia were convicts. There were between 8 and 14 Jews on the First Fleet. Free Jewish settlers began arriving from 1816 onwards because Australia offered religious freedom not available to them in their homelands. This was particularly the ca after 1830, when the first Rabbi in Australia arrived, Aaron Levi. the Jews were accepted more in Australia than in their own European countries, because Levi made a point of ensuring the Jewish people spoke English.
