can anyone advise if Viburnum Tinnitus can be trained into a hedge
or even a
topiary?

Yes. It will do both well.

I live in Queensland and my viburnum is only now (late
October)starting to
flower and the quality of the flowers are very disappointing. I feel
like
cutting it right back and just training it as a hedge etc.

I think the flowers of the V. tinus to be dead boring. Others in the
Viburnum family have much better flowers but the V. tinus is
traditionally used for hedging.
