Not sure what the terms are in Australia, but if what you're thinking of as cornflour is a very fine white powder, then it's most likely the same as cornstarch. (The thing that I'd call cornflour or cornmeal is less finely ground and usually yellow-ish -- you use it in place of flour to make things like cornbread.)
