Hey everyone, so I've never really used any Amigas before, but I picked up an A500 a while ago. Looking in to what I need to do to get software on it in this modern age. Besides that, mostly into repairing old game consoles and stuff.

Hi Seagar,
Welcome, there's a few Aussies about.
The biggest bang for your buck particularly starting out is to look at a gotek drive and to flash it with HXC or FlashFloppy firmware, my preference is flash floppy
Then you can use floppy images on a USB stick (ADF format predominately) - If you get a simple variant of the gotek (e.g. with a 7 segment display and basic buttons) I would recommend you look at spending a few bucks and getting an OLED display and look at using a rotary encoder (or blackberry trackball) as it will make it much more quality of life friendly
