Here is a list of publishers who have their games released in Australia and their distributors, as there has been a big switch of distributors since the closure of Red Ant Enterprises. Anyone is free to contribute but this isn't Wikipedia, so I will have to edit the list myself, but you can leave notes of a change of distributor for a certain publisher below and I will be sure to change it.

I was under the impression that Rising Star were no longer being supported by AFA in Australia?

Also, Deep Silver's latest title, Cursed Mountain, was published by Madmen Interactive....

Seems AFA Interactive is picking up most of the stuff Red Ant used to do.

Just did some research on the webz and found that Tuff Kat, the applicant for recent games by 505 Games submitted to the OFLC is residing in Red Ant's old location, 4 Columbia Court, Baulkham Hills, Sydney if you look in the White Pages online. I thought distribution of 505 Games' products were done by AID in the Gold Coast but what I'm wondering is when Red Ant went into administration were they bought out entirely or were they able to restructure themselves and renamed themselves?
