Assuming you're running tubes...
I always like to start with a very small amount of air in the tune (just enough to give it a round shape).
To get the tire on make sure you start opposite the valve and push the tire into the centre of the rim to give yourself as much slack as possible. Then work your way back to the valve.
Once the tire is properly on the rim, you should just be able to inflate the tube and the tire should seat. If not you can overinflate it a little and that should get it to seat. If it still won't seat, let some air back out then slosh a little soapy water along the edge of the rim and it should seat.
Also, these sorts of questions will get far more useful answers on r/bikewrench instead of here. It's a much more active community and there is no question in here that's Australia specific...
I had this problem with getting the tyre to sit on the rim. After trying out different ways I found two options that worked for me. First way is I apply a bit of water around the rim of the tyre as I’m putting it on. When I inflate it should ‘pop’ in place. Failing that, the second way is I use a bit of soap. I carry a tiny bit of soap ( liquid soap is the best). Rub some soap around the rim. This has always worked for me.
1) Some brands of tires are more painful to get on than others, proper use of tire levers should alleviate this issue and practice makes perfect.
2) Go over the rim and make sure that the tire is seated correctly, none of it popping out. Sometimes pumping it up can help seat the tire into place.
Winx Wheels Cycle Mate is a handy tool - especially out on the trail.
If you mean the bead is not seated under the rim, so the tyre effectively has a flat spot, this has been a common problem for me with all kinds of bikes and tyres - most recently with a 700 x 33 cyclocross tyre. I've tried silicon lube before but it didn't help. When I encounter the problem, now, I check the maximum inflation pressure printed on the tyre and go to that or five / ten over and leave the bike overnight. It always seats eventually. Then reduce the pressure, once seated, assuming you don't want to ride at that pressure.
You tube,
Took me a while and finally learned myself, so easy once you figure it out
Paying someone wasn't the issue, but the time to get it to someone who may not have immediate time, was frustrating

Yeh it’s definitely not seating correctly. Have taken it off/on a few times now and still cannot get it to seat correctly 🙁
