Can a used smartphone purchased in South Korea be used in Australia?

Yes you will be able to use mobile phones from South Korea in Australia. Korean's GSM providers use GSM 900 MHz or 1800 MHz which is the same in Australia. At the same time most phones now do support both GSM 900 MHz and 1800 MHz. Regarding UMTS (3G) both use 2100 MHz.

Just make sure that your phone supports 900/1800 MHz. If you are lucky enough you might get a phone with tri-band (900/1800/1900 MHz) which can also be used in North America.
