Hello
It depends what you mean by authentic and where in Australia you are located. The Australian Naginata federation can help you with modern/atarashi/new naginata (in Victoria/NSW and WA). There are numerous schools that have a component of naginata in their teaching, do a google on australia naginata and you will find several of links.

If you are interested in differences in modern vs classical naginata you may want to look at www.naginata.org/background.html (http://www.naginata.org/background.html) .

Ooops ... sorry, should point out that individual members states may offer/deal with other type of naginata as well as new/modern/atarashi.
