It depends what is spoken in your area. British English? Only you can decide what is best.

There's no such thing as 'Australian English', but just British English with an Australian accent. Even Americans can't usually can't tell the difference between an Australian accent and an English accent (even after living in Australia for years).
You could define 'Australian English' as British English with an Australian accent and Australian slang (as Wikipedia does!), but that's really not standard. When I refer to Australian English here, I mean English with an Australian accent.
Standard British English and standard American English are virtually identical, except some words are spelled differently ( ex. colour/color) and some words are different (boot/trunk). The main problem is when people speak informally, they often use slang and have very different accents.
Everything I've ever written on italki has been in 'Australian English' (which is identical to British English in writing).
If you're planning on just watching movies and TV shows, it doesn't really matter which you learn. In all American movies and TV shows, the actors speak in a mixed American-British accent that's easy for everone to understand.
In reality, there are many different accents within the US and Britain. Every American I've met speaks with a very different accent than actors in American movies. If there's a specific region's accent in the US that corresponds to standard American English, I've never met somebody from there.
There's a similar situation in the UK. There are many different accents within England alone. Note that the accents spoken in Ireland and Scotland are very different from accents from England, and even natives speakers sometimes struggle to understand Irish and Scottish accents.
In Australia, accents vary very little. You cannot tell what part of Australia a person is from by their accent.
