The AMSA website mentions that they
are lobbying for the international specs to be relaxed a tad so that cheaper
technology can be accepted, which will make the 406 MHz units cheaper and
smaller, but it's interesting that with the Feb 2009 date now within the battery
life of most EPIRBs, you need to buy an imminently superseded unit to get a
"personal" EPIRB or reasonable size.
If the GPIRB features can be built
in a smaller package it would be great for our circumstances.

I am not aware of any *personal* beacons
that meet the new requirements
that is available in Australia.
I
googled and could only find http://www.gme.net.au/epirb/mt400.php,
which is not a personal system but a vehicle system.
I suspect that
as we track towards the year when the older system is
being replaced by
the 406MHz system such units will become available.
