unless money is no issue i'd definitely go second-hand as the chances of you giving it a good smashing in the first season is pretty high. as a beginner, you're going to frequently end up falling hook-first into the sail, as well as endure the odd catapult...your sail will age very quickly!
size-wise, i'm with racer-x...you'll need a reasonably large sail to get planing in good learner-intermediate conditions (20knots on a 180lt board will be lively to say the least!), so look into the 7metre range. i've had a look in the buy-and-sell on sea-breeze, and can't find anything in NSW for you but if you look further you might consider something like these
(note - i haven't sailed any of these, nor know their owners, just giving you ideas is all)...

matching mast ICMS with sail requirements will make the sail perform much better - do your homework and ask on the forum if you're unsure.
good luck
