Hm, I don't quite see the problem (might be my fault, though <s>).  If you
have a laser printer -- a standard printer as opposed to dedicated label
printers -- , all you need is an A4 sheet with labels in the desired size. 
Don't know if those sheets are difficult to get in Australia; over here
(Germany) you would have a hard time finding anything else but A4 ...

Then, in FileMaker, either select the label size from the pop-up menu or, if
"your" label size is not included, create a custom size.  Maybe it's a
question of localization whether your copy of FMPro supports any A4 sheets
by default or not.  I have FM Pro 3.0 German, and it does support several
label sizes (makes are Avery and Zweckform, I think) on A4 sheets.

Another option, interesting if you want to print on labels in different
sizes, might be the Aetiket Label Printer
