That is indeed currently a requirement if staying in NSW, but is not something that impacts travel to Australia. Prior to 18th April there were requirements, but now it is just the DPD

Kind of - you can be prosecuted for failing to report a positive antigen test. PCR tests are automatically recorded

I think that fortunately a lot of people in NSW are honest and will act correctly if they get a postive Covid test result

If arriving in NSW and don't have an antigen test with you, can just go to Histopath at the airport and it will perform an antigen test for $59. Will get results within 15 minutes and can be on your way. If it tests positive then it will perform a PCR test
