I have seen a couple now for AU but forget the names of them. I'll have a look around a bit later.
But what you can use is known as a MultiBand Compresser. Most have some very good presets to help with vocals and the like.
What exactly do you mean by making the vocals sit well in the mix off the bat? That is a rare happening in a multitrack project. It will usually take some tindering to get a good vocal mix.
