It depends if it's part of the license or a reminder that in Australia 
there are other laws that may effect what you can do with the data.

If it's the former, the data is not available under CC BY 4.0 or an open 
license and they're falsely advertising that the data is available under 
an open license. If it's a reminder then it doesn't add any new 
requirements.

If they want it to be a reminder, I'd suggest wording like

Users are reminded that the Australian Privacy Principles under the 
Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) may impose additional restrictions on how they 
use the data.
