It's not using it under a licence other than CC-BY-SA. A "Collective
Database" or "Collective Work" means that the ODbL part of it is under
ODbL and the CC-BY-SA part is under CC-BY-SA. This is the very first
clause (1a) of CC-BY-SA.
In Australian legal terms, the two databases are "underlying works" and
so retain their own rights. The two together are a "compilation" (albeit
one that is so simple it doesn't attract any additional copyright in
itself), and therefore users need permission of the rights-holders in
the underlying works. This permission has already been granted in the
two open content licences used: the "Collective Work" permission of
CC-BY-SA and the "Collective Database" permission of ODbL.
