Yes and No
The idea of a retirement age was considered by the founding fathers at the conventions in the 1890's, but no retirement age was added to the constitution as they wanted to maintain the independent judiciary.
The mandatory retirement age for judges (70) was added to the Australian Constitution in the referendum of 1977. The referendum was triggered by a Senate committee report, and many of the reasons they suggested it was based on examples in the US where there is no retirement age for federal judges.
