Kodak is still selling Kodachrome film around the world, though not
actively marketing it. You might have to look in specialty camera stores
to find it, or purchase by mail order.

If Kodak chooses to discontinue it, which they have not said they are
intending to do, so this is only hypothetical, they typically support
processing until the expiry date of any film they sell.  They did this,
as an example, when they discontinued the larger format version of
Kodachrome.  Therefore, even if they discontinued the film tomorrow,
processing would be available for several years.

Right now, there are three labs around the world that still process
Kodachrome: In Japan, Switzerland, and the USA.  I believe any film from
Australia is shipped to Japan for processing.  You should contact the
in-country Kodak office to find out where you can take or send the film
to get it processed.
