There is also the quarterly Australian Film Collectors Magazine 'Reel Deals'. I have subscribed to this for years. It's a great little read with pages of classified ads. I have picked up episodes of The Love Boat and The Mary Tyler Moore Show on 16mm quite cheaply from there. ;D / It's great to know 16mm film collection is alive and well in Australia!

I know a former station manager who has a shed full of material; all commercial local productions as far as I know. He's offered up a few items for nostalgia specials, and is the source for the extras on a soap opera DVD release. I've told him it should all be in the National Film and Sound Archive and he says "someday".
I managed to recover some footage in 2010 and get a copy to the actor.
As for purloined import films, it's difficult enough to find people who were employed by the ABC in any relevant capacity in the 1960s or '70s to interview for my thesis, let alone some kind of recovery. We badly need a written documents archive, similar to the BBC. I put this to the ABC board and believe they've placed it in the too hard basket. With the change of federal government there has been a sweep out of the board, time to put it to the new members.

While Im sure this has already been done, have you looked into what he may have regarding vintage BBC?
