Any motorbike shop will fix you up with a helmet that complies with AS/NZS1698 and is therefore accepted at all supersprints. Aldi even sell them occasionally. A full-face helmet is highly recommended by CAMS for a driver of an open car. Prices start at around $50 and go high enough to make your nose bleed. A proper Snell SA automotive sport helmet is only required by CAMS at International level race/superkart/rally/speed events.

MCA Motorcycle Accessories - 3 stores but the two I know are: 36-38 Wentworth Avenue, Sydney and 321 Parramatta Road, AUBURN. Big range of helmets. No affiliation btw, they just happen to be almost equidistant in each direction from my work..

If you go to the Auburn store you can also check out Revolution Race Gear for car racing accessories! Unit 3 / Rear of 191 Parramatta Rd
AUBURN Lots of good gear in there :D
