Any coach that only charges aud40 per month isn't going to be worthwhile. However I 100% agree that's the best investment.
I have a training plan that I purchased on TrainingPeaks - will that do? Coaches look extremely expensive from what I can see.

Also tyres, latex tubes, massage and physio I'd put above those other things. And even more important quality food on a daily basis. Now we are coming into autumn there's more effort needed to eat fresh and avoid the comfort stodge.
All of this above a professional bike fit? From doing some reading online people make it out to be the best investment... Definitely food for thought, I will look into tyres (I am running tubeless at the moment).
For my money, I invest in training first. If you like your TP plan and stick to it, great. If you're paying for TP and not using the free version, the ability to create your own workout regime and plan is very useful. Do you need a coach for that? Not necessarily but it depends on your willingness, and time available, to do the research and planning yourself. It also requires more self motivation to stick with it since nobody is checking up on you.
From your list of three it's hard to pick one without knowing what you're already on. Again, I'd go with training related items first. If you don't have a power meter, adding one can allow you to target your training more specifically, use more indoor training software, set realistic goals, and be useful in pacing on race day. I have a Power2Max NGeco on my tri bike and for a similar investment to what you're describing you would have a good total power number.
Otherwise, picking just from your list... probably fit first, wheels second, bike computer third. I believe someone already pointed out that you can get good racing wheels like HED for very close to your price point used...
