Singapore does not offer any co-branded credit cards to Australia based citizens, but that's okay because there's over 15 programs you can use to build your KrisFlyer miles including several major credit card rewards programs.
American Express Membership Rewards points can be transferred to Singapore KrisFlyer at a 3:1 ratio. Every 3,000 Membership Rewards points you transfer to Singapore will give you 1,000 KrisFlyer miles.
AMEX is one of the best options for build up rewards transferable to Singapore and many other airlines. If you're looking to maximize your earnings and you travel often, you'll want to consider the Membership Rewards program.
Here are the credit cards you can use to earn Membership Rewards points:
