Would Britain redeploy submarines to Australia?

Would the Royal Navy strip submarines from western theaters to reinforce India and Australia?

It would probably send more, especially from the Atlantic, though Britain already operated a significant submarine force from Australia.

The Royal Navy historically transferred submarines eastward, particularly from the Atlantic, while retaining more in the Mediterranean. A larger Japanese threat to Australia would likely demand additional redeployment. Those boats would reinforce an existing British submarine presence operating from Australia rather than create a force from nothing. The answer corrects a Pacific-war picture that often notices American submarine operations while overlooking the Royal Navy's contribution.
