Australia's Bureau of Meteorology:

Joint Typhoon Warning Center:
http://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/jtwc.html

The Joint Typhoon Warning Center uses the 1 minute Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale like the NHC. Australia uses a 10 minute sustained wind for their own scale (About: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_cyclone_scales#Australia_and_Fiji ), so the winds Australia has on their site are less.

If the Wikipedia section is up to date when you look at it, it gives you both wind speeds in miles per hour and the equivalent Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale of the storm:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%9319_Australian_region_cyclone_season#Severe_Tropical_Cyclone_Veronica

As of the JTWC advsory at 8pm EDT on Saturday (0Z Sunday), 1 minute sustained at 115 knots (130mph), gusts to 140 knots (160mph).
