Even though it feels like strength is causing you to struggle to on steeper climbs, it's probably actually lack of technique (not transferring enough weight to your feet and not climbing efficiently).
As others have said, more time on rock is the best thing for you. Evenings or daytrips to crappy crags near melbourne, or full weekends at Araps/Gramps if you can get there.

In the absence of real rock, I think Burnley or Lactic bouldering gyms would be good for you. There are always lots of people there willing to give technique advice, and bouldering can teach you about distibuting your weight correctly.
Otherwise just keep climbing at the regular gyms, but try to go with someone experienced who can give you technique tips.
