Sounds like you don't have a connection to the cellular network (which is to be expected with a CDMA phone from the US while you are in Australia).  Connection to the cellular network is required in order to make phone calls.

You cannot use a Verizon iPhone 4 to make phone calls while in Australia.  It is not a global-ready phone.

Australia sounds amazing betsyg. I know how important it is to ensure you are able to have service while out of the country. If you are unable to make phone calls while in Australia, please contact our Global Support Team at 1-908-559-4899.
