Hi Danny,
There is currently no adequacy decision in place for Australia, so you will need to ensure you use the appropriate standard contractual clauses in any agreement you sign with the SaaS provider.
Kind regards
Clay

Subject: [data-protection] Storing data in Australia
Happy New Year all,
I am sure I should know the answer to this, perhaps too many mince pies in recent weeks.
Our HR department is considering procuring an e-learning system which is cloud based, software-as-a-service.
All of the data processing seems to take place in Australia. I can't find anything which specifically references Australia in relation to GDPR. It would not be much personal data - name, email and records of course completed.
Any thoughts?
[There is a separate question of sustainability - do we really need to send data on a 24,000 mile round trip?- I am looking forward to reading Mike Berners Lee 'How Bad are Bananas - the Carbon Footprint of Everything']
Danny
