Passing with flying colours with HD's all over it.what should i do to maximise my chances of making it into that course? and what are the barriers (e.g. tests, interviews, etc.) do i have to overcome to be allowed to specialise in this. thanks guys for your help!
You pretty much need a master's now to get a consultant job (most hired consultants now only work part time). It's not super hard getting into the program right now compared to the more competitive specialities but will probably get worse soon. You need to publish and kiss ass. There will always be interviews and tests in every specialty.

By hard I mean it's not a walk in after med school. Compared to other jobs it is probably easy. Given the competition with other exceptional individuals and the 1k+ doctors graduating per year. There isn't enough spots for jobs. Therefore, it is hard.

marks can lead to honours and if you do honours it can give you more avenues for research and getting papers published

Lol has the OP ever heard of google? Theres so much information online for a reasonably simple initial question
A lot of junk, too. The hard part of googling is separating relevant info from junk.

googling something like 'medical specialisations' or 'emergency medicine' or 'emergency medicine + australia' as well as the medical degrees of various unis would answer most of the OPs questions. Sure you get some junk but you get junk on here too. The aim of using a good search limits junk.
