It doesn’t legalise riding without a helmet: helmet obligations remain under state and territory road rules and vehicle safety regimes (e.g., Australian Design Rules). The change shifts helmet regulation from consumer law into transport safety frameworks and avoids duplicate regulation."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/australian-consumer-law-safety-standard-protective-helmets-for-motor-cyclists-revocation-notice-2015","history":"/api/acts/australian-consumer-law-safety-standard-protective-helmets-for-motor-cyclists-revocation-notice-2015/history","analysis":"/api/acts/australian-consumer-law-safety-standard-protective-helmets-for-motor-cyclists-revocation-notice-2015/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/australian-consumer-law-safety-standard-protective-helmets-for-motor-cyclists-revocation-notice-2015/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/australian-consumer-law-safety-standard-protective-helmets-for-motor-cyclists-revocation-notice-2015/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/australian-consumer-law-safety-standard-protective-helmets-for-motor-cyclists-revocation-notice-2015/documents"}}
