The brakes in my AU have become spongy and have nearly no pedal feel, do i just need to bleed the brakes or is there another major issue that could be causing this?

Check brake fluid and pads, refill if fluid low, replace pads if thin, bleed brakes.
If that doesn't restore pedal firmness it may be a master cylinder problem. If the fluid is very low check for signs of leaking near the master cylinder and on the inside of the wheels. Paul

If the pedal doesn't drop while you are sitting holding your foot on it, your master is fine.
More than likely your rotors, and pads need replacing. Check them first, then give it a full flush and bleed. Should solve it (depending on if the pedal drops while sitting)

When was your fluid last changed? If the rotors are warped, you really should change them, or at least measure them up to see if they are able to be machined true again

Engine oil, diff oil, auto trans service, or if manual, g'box oil, P/S oil, coolant, brake fluid, all the filters, s/plugs, check condition of brake pads, fanbelt, wiper rubbers, etc, etc.......the list goes on.
