Now is as good a time as any, traveling around the top end you will predominantly have SE and Westerly breezes making 3/4 of the trip very comfortable and minimising motoring time. Realistically give yourself about 3 weeks on a 50ftr with time to enjoy the trip.

not enough info to get valuable answer but let say...hypothetical y speaking ...
it is half a distance through South.....Summer in Vic. is prevailing Easterlies , can get you there very quick
Northbound , by the time you get ready and leave, it would be too late, you in Cyclone Season.

If it is a delivery and you just want to get it there, I had a quote last year for a boat to be moved from Brisbane to Perth.
The guy quoted 50 days and up to 200 hours of engine use
