Hi,
I have an Australia based website having TLD is also .com.au but receiving Organic traffic from Google is from all over the world.
I want my website is being visible only in SERP for AUSTRALIA region, How can I achieve that?

You can set geographic targeting to Australia in Google Search Console, use Australian hosting, and optimize your content with local keywords and references. Building backlinks from Australian sites and implementing hreflang tags can further reinforce your site's relevance to Australian users.

Plus block other countries from accessing your website as well.

That's normal for many websites, if you want your main traffic to be Australia, then host it on your place, and optimize the keywords relevant to it. Creating more backlinks from the AU region can help you.

Set geo-targeting to Australia in GSC and focus on Australian content and local keywords.

As advised you can optimize your website to rank in your target country. But receiving international traffic is still good for you and it won't affect your website.

In the Google search console, go to the international targeting section and set your target country to Australia. If you want specific traffic, use the maximum keywords that are relevant to Australian users. Links from com.au sites will get you a specific traffic. But getting global traffic won’t affect your site.

To target Australian search results, set geo-targeting to Australia in Google Search Console, and use local content, backlinks, and Australian keywords. It's a good idea to focus on Australia, but don’t worry about international traffic is still valuable and won't hurt your site.

Focus on local SEO to gain local AU Traffic and optimize your GMB profile and Build Links from AU sites

 

[NeonNomad]

Implement schema markup that indicates your business location and target audience. This can help search engines understand the regional focus of your content.

 

[KoD-]

Ensure your business is listed in local directories like Yellow Pages Australia and Google My Business with a focus on Australian locations.

It's not a big deal.

If you do some research with ahrefs you will find a lot of websites receive traffic from multiple countries.

The domain .com.au helps but Google might still show the site globally. Here's what you can do: Target your content with Australian keywords and location signals, use Google search console to set your target audience as Australia and add hreflang tag to specify your language.

You can get backlinks from .au blogs only and focus the Keywords on Australia region-based and local listings

These opportunities will help you to get Australian traffic

Do some backlink on your targeting area

You can block other countries except Australia. Beside that choose keywords suitable for Australia and use Australia hosting.
