I've hunted for a copy of the Australian Rim and Tyre Standards Manual but come up empty handed.

Can someone post a summary of what combinations of rim and tyre widths are safe/legal in Australia? Or point me at a reference.

e.g. 225 series - min 7.0" max 8.0" (or whatever)

Most tyre manufacturerer websites have a listing of their tyres with mininimum, recommended
and maximum tyre width for each of their tyres.
