You need to provide a police report for a foreign country if you stayed there for more than 12 months (and also if you were arrested for any reason in that country).
So, if you have only been there a few months at the time of interview then no you won't need an Australian report. If you have been there for more than a few months you could apply for a police report anyway just in case they ask.
You will need a UK police report.

If it does not arrive in time, it can be submitted as soon as it arrives
time frame: a couple of weeks since applying for police report

I concur with britsimon that if you or your husband were in the UK for over 12 months then you will require a police certificate from there (I also had to get one from the UK as I lived there for 5 years).
The UK police certificate doesn't take long (maximum two weeks) however there are a few catches as follows:
- You will need a lawyer (or one of the qualified persons stated in the application form) to sign your photographs and forms.
- ACRO (Association of Police Officers Criminal Records Office) does not courier certificates. They either do international post which may take time and also they do not post to P.O. Box addresses for security reasons.
- You will need to pay the correct fee in Great British Pounds
and it should be from a UK bank account/cheque.
- You will need evidence of proof of address in the form of utility bills or any similar documentation (bank statement showing your address will do as well).
Those are the key items but check the ACRO site because the forms and instructions are all there for immigrant to USA police certificates.
The Australian police certificate isn't necessary as you've not been there for more than 12 months but you can take it anyway if you wish to.

I have read some where in my Post US embassy in FAQ, that you can get the Police certificate for a country and will be considered valid without expiry date for that country in case you don't go back there and reside there for 6 months or more.
