The Australian Road Rules state that it is compulsory for a cyclist and any passenger to wear an approved bicycle helmet that is securely fitted and fastened when riding in a public space. Approved helmets are clearly marked with an Australian Standard Approved Notification. The penalty for not wearing a helmet or wearing a helmet incorrectly is $49.
