Dash cams are fine in Australia; plonking one smack in your line of sight is not.
Mount it high behind the rear-view mirror or low on the passenger side so it doesn’t obstruct the driver’s view or any airbags.
Keep it clear of ADAS sensors (rain/light cameras, lane-keep units) and secure the cable so it’s not dangling like festive tinsel.
States word it differently, but the gist is simple: nothing on the windscreen may significantly block your view—if in doubt, shift it a few centimetres.
Video on public roads is generally fine; recording audio of private conversations may require consent under surveillance-device laws.
Check your state road rules and the camera maker’s guidance; better paperwork now than a chat with a very unimpressed constable later.
