Default Super NES from Australia

My DIL is trying to get her childhood Super NES from Australia back into use in the UK, to amuse her children during lockdown. There is only an RF out available, nothing else. Unsurprisingly, their reasonable modern tv cannot tune anything on its analogue tuner as I think the standards and maybe frequency differed Uk/Aus.
Can anyone confirm this please ?
From what I can make out, the TV seems to only have UK channels and PAL-I.
Not my expertise and trying to help over a video call is not easy.

Tks

Ken

Australia was PAL ‘B’ and RF modulator may have been VHF

RGB SCART cables are available for the SNES. It would be better than RF/composite.
