Oceania is not a continent - in that its not a single continental shelf.

From wikipedia
New Zealand is not on the same continental shelf and so is not part of the continent of Australia but is part of the submerged continent Zealandia. Zealandia and Australia together are part of the wider region known as Oceania or Australasia.
Australia is actually a continent - in that it refers to the same continental landmass that includes Australia and some other islands which are part of the same shelf.

Again I am going by common knowledge of what I was taught - unless you guys down under think otherwise. Correct me if I am wrong.
