u could if it's reasonably r/worthy and reliable get a permit
this includes getting compulsory third party insurance so may be $40 plus $ a day
check on mtr transp websites of rel. states
want any vw bits old but like me, Made in Germany!!!

The safest way would be to get it trucked. A tow to the truck depot, plus trucking, plus tow from Sydney depot to your house, you may end up paying
$500. The safest way to do it.

Also, if its a car you plan to register soon and start driving, I would suggest getting Full comprehensive insurance on it starting from before the
journey to you, I got mine from Shannons and they said I'd be covered for the journey on the truck from SA to NSW. The transports have limitations
on vehicle insurance especially if its over a certain age.
