Does anyone know any places that do t shirt screen printing for pretty cheap, im in australia, but dont mind if its an overseas place that ships here.

To be honest, I have done some screenprinting with t-shirts and some posters, and I did it myself, the equipment isn't that much.
I guess it depends on how easy you want it to be, and how good of quality.
www.dickblick.com should have some supplies.
sorry if this doesn't help, but screenprinting is actually alot of fun to do yourself.

go to an art supplier and be friendly.
ask questions..
go to the library and get a/some book(s)
You don't need to go overseas for it.. just open your eyes and think for yourself ;)

ReadyMade Magazine just had a very indepth article on home made screen printing.... one of the big design scenesters did a bit of walkthrough and everything..... check it out... readymademag.com i believe.

ya, thats about all that you would need, and the price isn't to much.
I was lookin into buying all brand new materials and I was only looking around 200 dollars for everything.
not to bad if ya ask me.
