The Wallabies continued to look the more likely to score, and increased their lead when Nick Phipps set up Peter Bethem for their third try of the match.
However, Argentina fought back, with Marcelo Bosch forcing his way over before Joaquin Tuculet added a second after chasing down a kick, leaving the Pumas just four points behind.
Bernard Foley added his fifth penalty of the game late on to leave Australia a converted try ahead with just a few minutes to play, allowing them to hang on for the win, which leaves them third in the standings.
