You need to register your details on DFAT site http://www.orao.dfat.gov.au/ to get information about embassy representatives visits.
You'll need to apply for citizenship first then for a passport. Unfortunately they are dealt with by the embassies in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, however they come over to Doha once a month for 2-3 days for applications. There's an email list you need to get on to which is from the embassy, i'll see if i can find it for you.
