You can if you like
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:traffic_sign#On_a_way_or_area.

One is tagging the exact sign (which is specific to Australia), the other
is tagging the restriction which the sign creates on the way (which could
apply globally).

Would someone be able to review this tagging...

That looks okay. The wiki does say

In case of multiple signs separated by commas or semicolons, the prefix
should appear only once at the beginning (except if signs from different
prefixes are combined).

Which would be traffic_sign=AU:R6-22,G9-83

but how you have it should also be acceptable.
