TODO - how to install add-ons, 3rd party dictionaries or activate support. Depending on what browser you are using. KMc: MacQuarie Dictionary please
Karen, here are several 3rd party dictionary plugins for Web Browsers. You need to evaluate them to determine if they meet your requirements. If they don't we'll need to spend more time editing them or making a custom dictionary. Or you may want to talk to the publishers of the Macquarie Dictionary and see if they have a web browser plugin.
Two for Firefox, the first looks better maintained:
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/english-australian-dictionary/
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/english-australian-dictionary/
Google Chrome looks like it just requires a config setting:

Internet Explorer is more complex. IE 8 and 9 have no spell checking built in; here are two plugins which provide spelling support (I have not tested either, both require licenses for commercial use):
IE 10 has spell checking built in in Windows 8. You may need to install a language pack for Australian English though:
IE 10 on Windows 7 apparently has a spell checker built in, although some people have complained about it. You'll need to test this scenario to see if we need to provide more support here.
I don't have any information about Safari or Macs. They are currently listed as a supported platform, so we either need to a) test them and find plugins / settings as appropriate or b) not support them!
