In terms of *unassisted* level boarding, Australian railed systems are pretty poor overall. Most get DDA compliance only through having staff-assistance available. The only fully level compliant systems for unassisted boarding are Sydney Metro, Perth Rail, L2/L3 tram in Sydney, Newcastle tram, Gold Coast tram and Canberra tram. I'm not up to date on Adelaide, but I assume the newer tram extensions are compliant, but I'm not sure about the Glenelg line.
Bus and ferry systems are generally compliant through ramps and gangways. They usually require staff to deploy them.
The mismatch between trams and platforms in Melbourne sounds like terribly bad planning.
