  Usually cheaper to buy at your destination, than buy in Australia.

  You also have an ambiguous location…

    I want to be able to receive texts on my Australian number. For example, banking verifications

      Get a overseas sim then, update your bank details.

  Anyone know some good cheap SIM plans I can switch to before I leave so I can at least receive text messages/verification codes overseas? (Do I need roaming for that? I'm not too familiar with how roaming works)

  Yes you will need roaming on your Australian SIM

  Not cheap and terrible support but Boost $200/year allows international Voice over WiFi and SMS over WiFi.
