Lawson Rankin, 18, was at the popular holiday destination celebrating finishing school at St Francis Xavier's College when he was injured.
He suffered a brain haemorrhage and had 20 stitches in his head.
The Newcastle Herald reported on Saturday that Lawson had sped up to try to catch a local driver who had snatched his friend's phone.
After he fell, his friends found him inside a concrete drain filled with water.
Lawson had travel insurance, but did not hold an international licence to ride a motorbike so his medical costs are not covered.
A Go Fund Me page set up to raise money to bring him home has raised more than $210,000.
A message posted on the page on Sunday said Lawson had arrived in Australia from Bali, but remained unconscious and in a critical condition in the intensive care unit at Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney.
