Hi Yeo, welcome to the forums!
There are a few mods required for the eFx to make it approvable, have a look here, I have just gone through the same thing with mine, if you have any questions PM me.

Head on over to whitearmor.net and sign up there, I don't think there are any local suppliers, but there is a vetted list of suppliers on there.
Enjoy!
Edit: this is the thread with the vetted suppliers:

Research, research, research, ask questions, then research some more.

Hi Yeo, what is your body size? Height, weight etc.

I would look somewhere else mate. Not only is it missing pieces, there are better kits available.
What version TK are you looking to build? Have a look at the Costume Reference Library here: http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:FISD_CRL
As Scotty33 mentioned, sign up on the whitearmor.net website, it is the best resource for all things stormtrooper.

Hi and welcome
Tell us more about yourself.
Sign up on FISD to do some research on the TK kits http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/.
Try and avoid ebay.
While you are reading, this will give you some insight on the approval process:

Good luck on your journey.

Hi again Yeo,
There's plenty of people here who will offer advice and so on, but you might also want to sign up to the Terror Australis garrison:
http://501tag.com
They cover Victoria (Redbacks are Queensland), so you could go to a couple of their events as a wrangler and talk to the guys and girls in person and really get a feel for it.
