IIRC...
If it doesn't have the 5 ticks logo then the manufacturer hasn't been
certified by standards Australia and is displaying a sticker claiming
compliance. I believe this is legal but there's big fines if they
don't prove to actually be compliant. Check the ACCC website which had
a case on it (spotted when I googled up the other one for you) and the
standards aust website (which contrary to nev's post below doesn't
actually have the standard itself I'm afraid. Also check "positioned
for safety" on the MCC of NSW website which had some comments about
how it was now legal to import non compliant helmets, just not legal
to wear them.

How does that work in practice? Surely when Mr Plod stops you for a
random helmet check your helmet will be either certified as compliant or
non-compliant... how can there be a "might be compliant" category?
