How does it change in a sentence?

Αυστραλία is a feminine noun.

The word is pronounced Afstralía. The stress is on the third of four syllables.

When Greeks refer to 'the Australians' as a people, they use the word Αυστραλοί, which changes the ending of Αυστραλία to a masculine plural form.
In casual Greek conversation, mentioning Αυστραλία often triggers a discussion about the 'Greek-Australians', a distinct identity described by the compound word Ελληνοαυστραλοί.
While 'Australia' starts with a vowel in English, the Greek 'Αυστραλία' is pronounced with a 'v' sound due to the combination of the letters 'αυ'.
