AFAIK, you're out of luck anywhere north of Brisbane unless you know someone with a boat. The only place I think MIGHT do it are these guys: http://www.tech-dive-academy.com/technical.html . They have a Dolphin course listed, and a DM with a Dolphin ticket would technically be OK to supervise a CCR dive (this is all under the BS local laws). Realistically, most of us in Brisbane either use private boats or go to NSW.

If you're going through Brisbane, the best of the local boats is Esperance Star http://www.esperancestar.com.au - these guys are OK with Breathers &/or mix depending on who has the boat booked. The best of the local shops here is Dive Dive Dive ( http://www.divedivedive.com.au ). These guys are getting fairly specialised in CCR, and have sorb etc available.

Just let me know if you need any more details,

Thanks,
Robert
