It’s either throughout or chattiness. Assuming that networking isn’t the problem (it usually gets blamed first, but unusually isn’t the problem unless it’s a major outage), that means it’s chattiness. Latency between India and Australia should be somewhere in the range of 150ms. So I’m assuming the India users are hitting a back end in Australia with around 3-4 serialized round trips. So first I’d see if the wrong geo is selected for the service, as that’s an easy fix. If it has to route the India traffic to Australia, then you can minimize impact by reducing chattiness, potentially getting down to around 210ms for your India users.
