After searching for more than a year, I finally found someone with captive panda snails, so here are my two new babies!
According to the breeder, they were both born on 10 October, 2013, so they're a few years old and about 6 cm across the shell. I've only had them a couple days, but they've already stolen my heart.
If anyone else in Australia finds their way to this forum like I did, I can recommend Butterfly Skye's Bug Shop, at least if you live near Sydney. Panda Snails aren't listed on their online store, but I messaged them through their Facebook page and found out they had a small captive-bred collection available for sale.
There's not much information available about these guys, either in the wild or in captivity, but for anyone interested, I found this page and this book excerpt handy!
