It depends how they count the days. May need to see a more detailed itinerary.
Quite a lot of flights from Singapore to Australia depart in the wee hours of the morning, something like 1-2am. Therefore they arrive in Australia between say 7am-12noon (local time). If that is considered Day 1, then still not too terrible. You have about half a day to rest and do some exploration.

But anyway if you follow a tour, what is there to plan? Isn't it all taken care of?

I didn't go through the itinerary in detail, but from the pricing of about $900 it seems reasonably good value. After all, a flight to Gold Coast by Scoot w 20kg luggage is usually around $450-500 mark. I'm not sure what airline this agent is offering. If full-service airline then it's even better value

You won't be there for many days, so all things considered it seems like a good overview of the area. You've got theme parks + some nature.
I haven't gone on an organized tour for many many years, so I'm not sure how their pricing works nowadays. Was told by some colleagues that sometimes there are quite a number of 'hidden' extras not mentioned in the price beforehand.
