According to my old copy of AS 3000 1986 you are allowed to have 2 x 15amp outlets on one circuit on 2.5mm cable protected by a 20amp circuit breaker. The same size cable and breaker is used for power circuits in homes with between 7 and 15 x 10 amp outlets (normal powerpoint). The cable and circuit breaker are the same size its just the number of outlets is reduced. So long as you don't have a heater going at the same time you should be fine, worst case the breaker or fuse will trip or blow.
You can also buy a commercial lead that enables 15 amp leads to be plugged into normal 10amp outlets legally. It has a 10 amp circuit breaker built in to limit current to 10 amps, saying this the compressor could draw over 10amps on start up but only for a short time and may or may not trip this device. I am a Licenced electrician but am not working in that field at the moment.
