I originally found that arrival on the National Archives record search- www.naa.gov.au

Unfortunately we do not know which state your Beatrice went to & whether she was enrolled for voting either

The one listed in the electoral rolls turned out to be the other Beatrice and her husband George & their family

This facts sheet may help with further info & you could contact the National Archives to see if they have her listed in a record that is not online as yet

Let's hope that someone comes across this message you have posted & gets in touch in the future -
