I'm not Australian, but as a general rule you can state that a profession's Code of Ethics is NOT legally binding on anyone. They are usually nothing but high sounding principles and ideals which one is supposed to strive towards, adhere to, and uphold, in the performance of their particular profession or endeavor.
