No we dont have GCSEs in Aus. It is a totally different system with the final exams in year 12 being the end point of a two year course. It would be better for him if he can do the whole final two years - years 11 and 12 especially if he wants to go on to university or some other further study. If he comes here part way through that course there could be some difficulty in either crediting him with work done at that level or that he would not have done enough of the course to complete the year 12 assessment. Remember that the school year here starts at the end of January. Dont think of it as repeating anything just that he needs to do his final two years of schooling with kids of the same age.
