I guess the risk factor depends upon where you were going in Melbourne and what you were doing here. A very large proportion (80%?) of the infections are in the North and North Western suburbs and of course anyone who is known to be infected is quarantined at home.
Say you fly to Melbourne, get a taxi into the CBD, spend the day in meetings with a small group of people, get a taxi back to the airport and fly home again. You are probably at most risk in the plane, spending one or more hours couped up with hundreds of other people in a confined space. On that basis it may not be advisable to fly anywhere!
On the other hand you could adopt the view that given this virus is pretty much unstoppable and is likely to be with us for a very long time (the Federal Health Minister is talking about 2 winters), so it might be better to get it sooner rather than later.
