There may well be others, but last i checked "Home Make It" stock White Labs liquids:

They have a couple of stores in the 'burbs in Melbs.
(one a few minutes drive from my house &, fwiw, i'd recommend their friendly helpful service, even if 1 or 2 of their staff have not been brewing for long).

http://www.corebrewingconcepts.com.au/ for online orders or local pickup in Lyndhurst

Grain and Grape is just over the westgate bridge (site sponsor so check the banner ad on top of the page)

I dont shop at The Brewers Den in Boronia as its not close to me but I've heard plenty of good stuff about them so I'm sure they'd carry it.

Most homebrew stores that specialise in all grain should be able to sort you out.

I bet my last pint rook knows grain and grape but I've never seen whitelabs in store or online.

I've not seen vials out in Boronia either..

Yeah Home Make-it are in clayton from memory and definitely have white labs.

I've only ever used wyeast. Do whitelabs always require a starter regardless of vial age?

If you have it fresh as the morning sun, probably not (for a standard gravity and volume) but seeing as how they come from the other side of the planet, it cant be a bad idea to freshen them up. Besides, if you run a starter you can keep it going and build up stocks h34r:
