Australia does not currently have a nationwide law banning full-face coverings. However, various states and territories have enacted measures that restrict them under certain circumstances:

Victoria: Introduced a ban on face coverings in public spaces during specific situations, such as protests or in secure government buildings.

New South Wales: Has considered but not fully implemented legislation targeting face coverings in public safety contexts.

Queensland and South Australia: Certain restrictions exist, particularly in educational settings or government services.
