The simple answer is No, to play for a real cash prize even though you pay no entry fee is not allowed.
What site are you talking about, I am assuming you are a Poker Stars player and now you can't play for real money there like I as an Aussie can't anymore as from the 11th of this month, Party Poker pulled out on the 31st of August and 888 on 1st January.
These site are very legit and will pull out and follow the law because when the dickheads in Canberra finally decide that poker isn't what they were really after and start to issue licences for online poker, they want to be the first in line to get back into the Aussie market.
Have you researched any other sites, there are sites that are still allowing Aussies, I have been here at CardsChat for a little while now and play at the sites that CardsChat have games at which we call the US Sites.
I still play for cash at all of these following sites, use the links to download the software and you too can play in our freerolls and cash games that are in the morning for the Aussie eastern states, 10am at the moment but soon will be at 12noon.
These sites all run many freerolls daily.
We have a CardsChat leaderboard competition also that has quarterly and yearly prizes for the CardsChat games, and trust me they are a good quality game, unlike the all in donkfests you can encounter.
You can also play at cash tables and in buy in tournaments.

You will need to hang around and qualify to play in the CardsChat games but that isn't hard and the guides like shells bells 53 and Marcwantstowin all you need to do is ask and they will help, as will many other members.
Get involved in the hand analysis section and join in the cnversations or ask about any sticky situations that you may find yourself in.
As for the govt, I say stuff them, I'm still playing at places that will still let me.
