"Only Tech Unicorn" is questionable. In addition to this and Atlassian, there is also WisetechGlobal https://www.marketindex.com.au/asx/wtc - market cap $4Bn.

Well technically if it's listed on the ASX then it's gone public, i.e. Exited, so typically not called a unicorn.

Fair enough but relatively recently listed. I guess Australia is probably a serial unicorn maker.

Unicorn is a startup term. Atlassian is TEAM on the NASDAQ.
