All you have to do is turn it upside down. /s
Personally, I'd just change the socket to a local standard socket and deal with the adapters. If nothing else, they take up space and make the lamp stick out/up more.
But as-is, the wiring is going to be rated for (at least) 300 volts, and the socket is (usually) rated to 600 volts, so that won't be a problem.
The only catch is that the sconce is designed to be installed on a round enclosure with 2 screws, spaced 2-3/4" or 3-1/2" apart, on the midline of the fixture where it attaches to the wall. I have no idea what enclosures are used in Aus, so you'll have to work that out.
Incidentally, the enclosure I linked is designed for new construction (called a "new work box"), where the walls aren't yet enclosed in gypsym board. Assuming you're not up for ripping your walls out, you'd use an old work box, which is designed to be pushed into a round hole in existing gypsum board..
