Australia have a Sony spare parts supplier that stock M9 cables, however they don’t ship overseas. But maybe you could use a parcel forwarding service? If you’re having trouble finding a forwarding service, feel free to drop me a PM and I’ll be happy to help out
In other news, I switched back to the Sony Hybrid tips just to make sure the JVC SpiralDot++ tips still sounded best to me, and they do! I used the Sony Hybrids for about 48 hours and when I swtiched back to the JVCs it was like a breath of fresh air. It's not even close, I recommend any and everyone who owns an M9, M7 or even a Z1R to pick some up. There was a size M here on the forums last week for $30 shipped and PP'd, which is a great deal.

I agree with this... I picked up a box of SpiralDots++ while in Japan (a while ago). it fits and it is comfy, and to me the insertion to seal doesn't need to be too deep with this.

IMO that just means you need a smaller JVC tip! I have the size M and probably need a smaller one. In my experience the M9 performs its best when using the smallest tip possible to achieve a seal as deep as possible.
Yesterday when I switched back to Sony tips I used the MS, which would not get a seal unless I pulled up on my upper ear and shoved them in as deep as possible. Basically so deep that the shell of the IEM was resting in my ear "pocket". I'm not able to get that deep with the JVC M, so I do intend to get some smaller ones to try out.

I have a different experience. I can’t get good enough seal using small tips. Even if I do get good seal, the lower treble would become peaky and sibilant since I have to push the M9 so deep into my ear canal. I’m using Final Type E medium now.

Give the Sony Hybrids another chance, but this time use my insertion method where you pull up on your ear and shove them in deep at the same time. If I use a tip that's too big I encounter all sorts of problems. One of which is the sound will become muffled if I look down sharply, like say if I was reading a book. Anything over an ML for me will become muffled regardless of my head position if I insert them deep. This doesn't happen with the much wider bore tip of the SpiralDot++. After fiddlling around with the Sony Hybrids for over a year I'm glad I finally discovered the JVCs.

The OG SpiralDot tips were a no go for me. They gave me a suction/ear plug like seal that was too much. The SpiralDot++ seems to have an almost foam like material and doesn't do that at all. The ++ was a huge improvement over the old SpiralDots for me.
