How much are they?

These are pretty comparable to how much tap ones are in Canada and look to be similar

Having used both taocons and anchor sleeves I LOVE tapcons/concrete screws way more

Crappy Tire has a set of half a dozen screws plus the bit for like $10

OP is in Australia, and unless Canadian tire is wildly more successful than I expected, may not be accessible

Totally misread your comment. Apparently my impression of inflation in the concrete screw market is a bit hyperbolic. My bad
