I'm curious as to whether chip-and-PIN credit cards have become the norm
in Australia as they have in some European countries. If so, how much
difficulty could I expect to encounter if I only have a signature credit
card?

They haven't taken off here (yet), so you'll have no difficulty with a
signature credit card.
