Hi Aaron - welcome to ASF!

Yes, you can trade the XJO (ASX200) index which moves pretty much in sync with the All Ords.

Below is an ASX website liink which includes the info you require. I have traded XJO options some time ago, and found that the bid/ask spread can be quite wide which can make it difficult to get a fair price on fills
