The population in the north was evacuated and plans were made to defend Australia along the 'Brisbane Line'. This was a gross over-reaction as the Japanese had no intention of invading Australia - they simply didn't have the resources to do so - the best they could muster to try to capture Port Moresby was a weak division, while Australia had three armoured divisions and five infantry divisions in Australia at the time.
