Yes, black swans are essentially unique to Australia. They are found throughout the continent (except for the far north, in Cape York Peninsula).

Black swans have been known to migrate to New Zealand. Not being introduced by man, they are considered to some degree, for that reason, to be native to New Zealand, and it is known that before white settlement, there was a sub-species of the black swan in New Zealand. It was unfortunately hunted to extinction.
