According to the Australian customs website, 'traditional samurai and katana swords' are an item which are not subject to control, which means that you SHOULD be able to bring it in with you. That dosent necessarily mean that customs CANT take it, but it means that there are no restriction on bringing them in.
The only reason customs would be likley to take it from you is if it has a sharpened cutting edge (the tip can be sharp), since shops aren't allowed to sell them sharpened and as far as i know its illegal to grind it down yourself. As long as you declare it and the edge is blunt (you can rub it against your hand with force and not get cut) then it should be A-OK to bring it in.
If you still have any concerns, you can contact the police firearms/weapons registry of the state you'll be entering Australia from. They should be able to advise you.
A little advice though. Its illegal to have it on display in public or to be intoxicated in possession of a weapon, so dont take it out of your bag once until you get home and dont have any alcohol while its in your possession. Thats based on the laws in the Weapons Act 1990( QLD), but i expect its the same in all states.
