The Diana Ferrari brand is excellent and, as you'll see from this
site, http://www.dianaferrari.com.au/fashion_lounge_faqs.asp
their sizes go to a 12. They are sold in many department stores (Myer
, David Jones, Harris Scarfe etc) as well as regular shoe shops. Plus
they have several factory outlet shops (one I know of is in Darebin
Rd, Fairfield which is very good).

There is also Gilmours who are very good. They claim to have the
largest size selection in the Southern Hemisphere so they should be
able to help you! http://www.gilmours.com.au/

Finally, I can't find the actual store listings for the next two,but
I'll tell you about them anyway. Footrest and Peter Shepherd stores
cater for the larger sizes. Footrest shoes are available at many dept
stores, plus they have their own stores. Peter Shepherd (I'm sure that
is the right name) has a shop in Melbourne (and in Brisbane, I think)
plus they have an excellent mail order catalogue with very high
quality gorgeous shoes.

Then, of course, you could go and get some specially made for your
size foot. In Preston, there is a very capable shoemaker who
hand-makes gorgeous shoes. A friend bought a pair to match a special
Melbourne Cup outfit and they were so comfortable, she's ordered
another pair. If you're interested, let me know and I'll hunt down the
business card (it's in the depths of my handbag somewhere.)

Hope this helps.

I forgot to add that many stores in Melbourne stock womens sizes 11-12
as an extension of their regular ranges. Sure, the choices are limited
but you should be able to find *something*! Even in Payless Shoes, I
have seen some sizes 11-12 fittings.
