When we add a Shape Map in the report, "US: states" is selected for the Map by default. In order to show Australia map instead of US map, you need to go to Visualizations pane with the Format section selected , expand the Shape section and select "Australia: states" for the Map.

You have to have a longitude and latitude values for them to plot on the map.
Please find attached file at here for the complete set of geocoded data at here.

Hi charmainer,

If there is a possibility that ArcGIS Map is disabled in Power BI Service.
In Power BI service, users can stop using ArcGIS Maps for Power BI by disabling it on the ArcGIS Maps for Power BI (Preview) tab in user Settings. When disabled, ArcGIS Maps will not load by default.
In PowerBI.com, tenant administrators can prevent all tenant users from using ArcGIS Maps for Power BI by disabling. When this happens, Power BI will no longer see the ArcGIS Maps for Power BI icon in the visualizations pane.

Using the Shape Map Visual, and these TopoJSON Maps for Power BI, you may be able to get started with what you need. Without more information on your data, it's hard to give specific guidance on how to achieve what you want.
I would also like to know what the status of this problem is...

Hi Charmainer,
Initially, I had same issue however I got a soultion for us all.
Steps:
- Create a custom column by concatenating state and country. eg: CustomState - Country
- For above custom column, set Data Category = Place
- Under visualizations, Select "Map"
- Drag "CustomState - Country " field to locaiton.
Please see below screen for more details:
