It's $100 in Victoria (Rule 256(1) & (3)). As an aside, it's
theoretically
possible to get an exemption from the requirement to wear an "approved
hemet" (Rule 256(5)) but I have no idea on what grounds or whether it's
ever
actually happened.

In SA there's a legal exemption for people of the Sikh religion (as they'd
have to remove their turbans to wear a helmet correctly). So there you
go!
Anyone may seek an exemption from the Minister for Transport though. If
you
had an odd-shaped head, or a large growth, or a head so massive a helmet
wouldn't fit, or something else like that I reckon you'd have a chance at
an
exemption.

I got an exemption years ago for trigeminal neuralgia. The helmet irritated
the nerve and triggered Bell's Palsy. No probs now though. I bought a decent
helmet rather than the bucket job that was causing problems.
