This word belongs to the word family of 'Australien' (Australia). Normally, the adjective is 'australisch' (Australian). The form 'Australier' is a special, undeclined form derived from the name of the country.

The Australian coast is world-famous.
'Der Australier' (the Australian man) with an article is a noun and refers to a male person from Australia. The form described here, 'Australier' without an article, which stands after a noun, is a rare adjectival use.

My new colleague is Australian.
This adjectival form is not declined and always comes after the noun, usually in the fixed expression '[noun] + Australier Art' (Australian-style). This pattern also exists with other geographic names.

Australian
'australisch' and 'Australier' can both express a connection to Australia, but they are used very differently. 'australisch' is the normal adjective and fits in almost all situations: 'australische Städte' (Australian cities), 'australische Musik' (Australian music), 'australische Tiere' (Australian animals). 'Australier' as an undeclined adjective is rare and appears mainly in fixed or name-like combinations. Learners may confuse the words because 'Australier' looks like a word indicating origin. In normal sentences, however, 'australisch' is almost always correct and more natural.
