They do not. They have a version of the Union Flag in the top left corner. The Confederates used the "Stars and Bars" style flag. Similar in some ways, but not identical.

The Australian flag has the Union Jack which is the British flag on the top left hand corner because the British colonised Australia, and the Union Jack symbolises Australia's continuing ties with Britain.
