If I remember correctly, this has a while label WD Red, or a white label HGST Helium drive.
Cheaper than the Amazon deal right now if you don't have Prime.
Don't forget 2% TopCashback ($4.50 back), or 1% Cashrewards. ($2.25 back)

if you have prime, isnt the amazon one cheaper?
I forgot about GST, but yeah it is.
In this instance (with free Amazon Prime shipping) it is. I have also checked the ASIN code for both the Amazon AU and US sites and with current x-rate of about USD0.71/AYD1.00 comes out about the same with 10% GST added. With Amazon Global shipping I have yet to witness any price-jacking but the can't be said with some Amazon Marketplace sellers who don't mind exploiting an opportunity if presented.
Damn WD, they have to make their model numbers slightly different for regions. Cant pricematch with Officeworks cuz Australian ones use AESN not NESN.
Do they perhaps come with different power plugs?
They are identical products. The only difference is that the US model (NESN prefix) ships just the US cable and plug.
The AESN ships with international ac plug adapters and/or cables for AU/NZ, CH,GB, EU & US/CA.
WD Support will ship to you for free an Australia/NZ adapter plug/cable upon you advising them of the unit's serial number when you physically receive it. In some cases I have received them from a WD supplier in Vietnam in about 3-4 days.
Where should you contact WD Support through? This link doesn't seem to have any categories that would seem relevant.
I presume if you pay via paypal you should be safe.
Good deal, but don't forget the GST. Comes to a total of AUD$249.79 delivered.
