To be AARCMCC approved: No it DOES NOT.
However, it must be on a
published list, and have been there for 30 days. If the battery is approved but the updated list isn't yet published the battery isn't legal even if it has a sticker on it. That's for onroad.
For offroad the situation is slightly different. The pack has to be on an Australian list according to the rules, but by convention the Australian list is the ROAR or BRCA list. However, there is an additional requirement here that the pack be rated at no more than 6000 mAh capacity. So even if it is on the list, has been there, has a sticker etc. If it is greater than 6000 mAh it's not legal. The same goes in offroad or onroad for batteries outside dimension.
