It might be worth trying the Department of Veterans Affairs website. I understood that an effort was made to identify and list indigenous members of the AIF.

Generally a man could not enlist in the AIF unless he was of substantially British descent but at least 3-400 Aborigines or part-Aborigines served during the Great War.

There is at least one book on the subject: The Black Diggers by Major Robert Hall, ISBN 0 04 520005 X.
