Make sure your Australian driving license has a motorcycle endorsement on it. If it does, the process is easy (although you need to take a written exam). If you need to get the motorcycle endorsement inside China, it is much more complicated.

You have to have a residency permit to stay in China. Although it is a very simple thing to acquire, your employer will take care of it for you. The only driving license restriction is that your visa must be valid for at least 3 months continuous stay inside China. To register a bike in your name, the visa has to be >6 months continuous stay.
