Generally speaking, yes. For the purposes of what you probably need it for (which I assume is a recipe using cornstarch as a thickener) the answer would be yes. If you want to get really technical, cornflour is an ambiguous term that can refer to cornstarch or cornmeal. In Australia, cornflour is generally made from wheat, rather than maize. So it will ususally say wheaten cornflour on the pack, and in fact is in no way related to corn. Cornstarch (US term) is a similar product, but is actually derived from corn.
