They would be Australian. However whether they would be able to hold a Ukrainian passport at the same time would depend on the Ukrainian law. I am Dutch and a naturalised Australian but I can also hold a dutch passport if I so chose. it is allowed under Australian and Dutch law.
Every priest is subject to a Bishop, the Bishop of his diocese. When a man is ordained to the priesthood, he makes a vow of obedience to his Bishop and his successors. There are five different dioceses in Australia, so no one Bishop has jurisdiction over all the priests, save the Pope, who has direct jurisdiction over every cleric in the world.
There are approximately 125 Greek Orthodox churches in Australia, but this does not include the other Orthodox churches, such as the Russian, Serbian, Romanian, Antiochian, Ukrainian Orthodox, etc.

Depends which "Ukrainian Orthodox Church" you mean. If you mean the Autonomous Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which is self-ruld but under the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church, the answer is "yes." If you mean the Ukrainian Orthodox parishes in the USA, Europe, and Australia which are under the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Constantinople (although these are certainly NOT a "Ukrainian Orthodox Church," but simply Ukrainian Orthodox dioceses of the Patriarchate of Constantinople), the answer is "yes." If you mean any other Ukrainian Orthodox groups-whther one of the so-called variety of "Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox" Churches IN the Ukraine (some of which also now have parishes in the USA), or any of the plethora of vagante, fly by night, non-canoncial, possibly heretical, possibly occult groups in the US that include the words "Ukrainian" and "Orthodox" iin their names, the answer is "NO." See the question "is the Russian orthodox church in union with the ukrainian orthodox church" for more information
