Since they come from Europe direct, they do not get issued with an Australian standards sticker, but when I looked into it last year, they are exactly the same helmet as you would get in any retail store down under. A very small % of the imports are taken aside for testing, if they pass, all are stickered as complying.
From an insurance perspective if that is what you are worried about, I'm unsure if they would take you to task on that point. However, from a safety and cost perspective, you can buy helmets from Wiggle significantly cheaper than any store in Oz, thereby getting a top of the range lid for the price of a mid-range helmet in a store.

All I can say is that it doesn't come with the Aussie Standards Sticker. I made sure it was a model sold in Australia. What repercussions this has legally I don't know.
