What would you do if wall cavity was opened to storm water for 2 months, how do we can check inside condition?
Is there any other way I can look in other than opening it, what are the potential risks that would happen in later stage. What are the Australian standards for this situation?

Get in touch with a home inspector. he might have a Remote Viewed
inspection camera with video tape or CD memory. He can put that
camera into areas as small as the diameter of an Oreo cookie.
This can and will show deterioration of any structural members or
wall coverings up close and personal.

Not sure if this applies to your situation, or exacly what kind of damage you are looking for. But if there is a baseboard on the inside, you might be able to carefully remove it and cut acsess holes in the plaster or sheetrock, behind where it was, and look inside the stud-spaces with a mirror and flashlight. Make sure the holes you make are small enough that the base board covers them when replaced.
If any significant amount of water had gone in there, the paint would blister and, if it was sheetrock, it would almost certainly show warping or other damage.
