    Does anyone know what kind of Australian accreditation would be most similar to RA?

    (Specifically, I am looking into University of Adelaide in Australia right now)

    You can take a look at the followings:

    http://www.dest.gov.au/sectors/higher_education/policy_issues_reviews/key_issues/assuring_quality_in_higher_education/fake_degrees.htm

    http://www.aqf.edu.au/register.htm

    In particular....

    "All universities and other institutions approved to offer degrees and other higher education awards are listed on the registers of the Australian Qualifications Framework You are now leaving the DEST website (AQF).

    Institutions that are not listed on the AQF are not recognised by Commonwealth, State and mainland Territory Governments.

    Australian universities (and a small number of other institutions) are generally established under State or Territory legislation and once established they become self-accrediting and responsible for their own standards. Other institutions may be accredited (usually for a specified period) to offer particular courses leading to higher education awards and are monitored by State or Territory authorities. A list You are now leaving the DEST website of these authorities is provided on the AQF website."
