If you're a FESA employee or volunteer, there is a policy in place.
see http://warsug.info/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7752

If you are a member of the public taking photographs in a public place and haven't been asked to move on or not to take photo's, then you are free to take whatever photographs you like providing you don't breach any laws in the process.

It's advisable to use common sense and to respect the rights and privacy of casualties and members of the public.

This constitutes my opinion and understanding, and must not be taken as expert or legally accurate advice.

In addition to that, most people who don't like getting their picture taken spout the usual 'but your breaching my privacy'. They can then be informed that the taking and publication of such a photograph of a person in Australia, is not an invasion of privacy, nor is it in breach of any case or statute law.

The only person that is able to tell you not to, is a Police officer.
