Oh dear.... bad luck mate... poor 'roo and poor you!
Here's my advice on the panels you need to get:
New door, new front left panel, new front bonnet (maybe they'll just panel beat though), new headlights.
Front bumper looks in tact from the photos, looks like it took the force and popped back again (as they do these days).
Damage estimate (from my experience) - $3.5K (labour incl.)
As for airbags going off... lucky and unlucky.
Lucky because it wasn't bad enough to activate (possibly injuring your fingers/neck... unlucky because airbag goes off = instant write off hence new car!
Hope all goes well. Good luck.

Aussie,
I meant damage most likely severe or bad enough to deploy. I believe they have sensors to tell if it is severe enough - and likely if it is, the chassis would have been damaged as well. However this looks like cosmetic panel damage only, hence no airbag deployment. Sorry for the mix up in my post.

I opted to pay an extra $1000 excess to lower my premium which i regret now
I'm taking it down to the insurance place on Tuesday and they'll look at it and do their thing, it's my first claim so i'm not sure exactly what happens
the crack in the windscreen wasn't the roo, looks like a crack but it's a reflection of a cord going to my radar detector.
airbags going off would've scared the carp out of me

Take the car into the smash repairers on Wednesday, they'll have it for a total of 9 days
Lucky I haven't been yellow stickered for it yet!
Got pulled up on Roe Highway last night and thankfuly they didn't do the 'walk around the car' and notice the broken headlight.
Even luckier they didn't book me for anything else too
