A temporary workaround, you can download the original URL in youtube-dl instead:
http://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/video/357036099545

Thank you for the report. youtube-dl 2015.02.09.2 and newer should extend the generic extractor so that it captures tvcatchupaustralia. See our FAQ if you need help updating.

Hey Philippe,
Thank you but have you tried it?
Here is what I get:

Your log shows that it works fine; the problem is with the SBS or ThePlatform downloader. Since I'm not from Australia and none of our users (hint hint) provided an Australian VPN connection to us developers, I only tested that the redirect to SBS works fine.

Please do open a new issue with the output of youtube-dl -v http://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/video/357036099545. Bear in mind that any developer not from Australia and without access to an Australian VPN is very very unlikely to be able to fix the SBS/ThePlatform downloader for this use case.
