Can't comment on legislation as you haven't indicated what state of Australia you're in.
In general though, if domestic cleaners are going to rip you off, they will get away with it every time unless you are willing to follow them into every room.
a) When they commence, take a copy of their passport and/or work visa. Let an aspiring criminal know that you know who they are. Ditto any other contractor in your house.
b) Put your valuables in a safe. When you come home, if your TV is still there, they didn't steal anything.
c) Relax.
It amazes me the number of people who insist on not giving their cleaner a key and instead stress over letting them in and out as though that will stop a thief somehow.
Oh, and have a restricted key system like Bilock such that they can't copy a key. If you get it back from them, you know they're locked out.
