No. Sirius does not feature on the Australian flag. The large star known as the Commonwealth Star or Federation Star is so named because its seven points represent the six states and numerous territories (mainland and off-shore) of Australia. The star represents the states coming together in Federation.
Our Australian flag was born in 1901, when Federation occurred. The Flag denotes our global position by the use of the Southern Cross. The brightest star in the Southern Hemisphere. The Federation Star (sometimes referred to as the Commonwealth Star) directly under the Union Jack has seven points representing the States and Territories of Australia. All the stars have seven points except for the small star which has five. In Bible numerics seven means completion - Seal of God (ie. seven days of the week)
This is the Federation Star because its seven points represent the six states and numerous territories (mainland and off-shore) of Australia. The star represents the states coming together in Federation.
The large star on the Australian flag has seven points. There is one point for each of the six states, and the seventh point represents all of Australia's territories, that is, the two mainland territories and the seven offshore territories. For this reason, the star is called the Federation Star, or Commonwealth Star.
The largest star on the Australian flag represents the six states of Australia. It is known as the Commonwealth Star or Federation Star, and each point on the star represents a state, with the seventh point representing the territories of Australia.

federation of the states. the seven points, one for each state and the territory
Every star on the Australian flag does not have seven points. Each of the stars which form the constellation of the Southern Cross have seven points, except for the smallest which has just five - for no particular reason, other than that it is smaller. The others originally had between five and nine points each, but they were standardised by the British Admiralty for simplicity of manufacturing the flag. Below the Union Jack is the Commonwealth Star, or Federation Star, which has seven points, one for each of the six states of Australia and the seventh representing all the territories, mainland and offshore.
The Federation Star is a seven pointed star on the Australian flag. Each point on the Federation star (also known as the Commonwealth star) represents each of the six Australian states. The seventh point represents all of Australia's territories, mainland and offshore.
The design of the Australian flag has not essentially changed since it was adopted as the national flag on 20 February 1903 and modified on 22 May 1909. This modification did not change the number of stars, only the number of points on the Federation star.
