Yes, Australian Tree frogs (also known as "Whites" Tree frogs) shed their skin. I have two Australian Whites, and they shed a couple of times a month, usually.
If you have never witnessed a tree frog shedding it's skin before, you might be disturbed when you observe the process for the first time. The frog looks as if it is choking or gasping for air, it's eyes pop in and out, and the frog makes a strange clicking noise. It kind of looks like a really bad case of dry heaves.
Do not disturb the frog as it sheds it's skin, this is perfectly normal and assistance is not needed. I read that frogs eat the shedding as it is nutritious. Let nature take it's course.
I know that when I have a sunburn and "shed" skin, the new skin is tender and I don't like for it to be touched. I imagine frogs feel likewise, so I try not to handle my frog for the rest of the day if I notice it shedding. I do lightly mist my frogs with lukewarm spring water mixed with a few drops of Betta Safe, which helps moisturize the frog's skin and the Betta Safe provides a slick barrier. I am not an expert and cannot offer expert advice, but my frogs seem very happy and are thriving quite well.
