Once divorces are settled, should be pretty easy.
An Australian will need a bunch of documents including a certificate of no impediment, birth cert and divorce papers, all legalised by whoever does that in Oz.
An Indonesian needs all the usual stuff she'll be aware of.

One point, a non Muslims wedding (if that applies) should be registered at the local area office. No real point if you intend to live in Oz but very handy if you ever decide to move to Indonesia.
Worth doing just in case.

Hello everyone,

Please note that this thread has been moved to the Bali forum so that you may better interact with members who have perhaps made the move.

All the best,

Jakarta is a very long way from Bali in many ways, not just distance.
I'd be tempted to try calling a few hotels and see what shakes.
If you intend to spend time in Indonesia, make sure you register the marriage with the local area office.
