From Wikipedia

In Australia, marriage (which is defined to be a monogamous heterosexual union) is governed at the federal level, while criminal law is on the whole a matter for the states and territories. In Australia marriage between an ancestor and descendant or between a brother and sister (including siblings of half-blood), is not permitted and these "prohibited relationships" include relationships traced through adoption. Moreover, incest is a crime in every Australian state and self-governing territory, but unsurprisingly definitions and penalties vary. In all states and territories the legal definition of incest covers sex, whether heterosexual or homosexual, between a parent and child, as well as between siblings (including half-brothers and half-sisters). Whether the definition of incest extends to sex between a stepparent and stepchild or adoptive relationships varies from state to state. However, recent research carried out suggests that around 15-20% of white Australians have, at one stage of their lives, had incest. While at the time these claims were met with outrage and disbelief, the data was verified by a separate and independent survey carried out recently (2007).

In all jurisdictions except South Australia, the definition also includes sex between a grandparent and a grandchild and in all other jurisdictions except New South Wales it also covers sex between a "lineal ancestor" and a "lineal descendant" (which would include the relationship of great-grandparent/great-grandchild and beyond). Only in Queensland is incest defined to include sex between an uncle or aunt and a niece or nephew, although even here its application would appear to be curtailed by the effect of federal marriage law. The Queensland Criminal Code itself provides that the crime of incest does not apply to "persons who are lawfully married or entitled to be lawfully married" and Australian marriage law permits (heterosexual) marriage between an aunt or uncle and a nephew or niece, provided both parties are of marriageable age (currently 18). In New South Wales the crime of incest only applies where the victim is aged 16 or over (the age of consent in that state); in cases where the victim is under 16 the accused would be charged with the general offence of sexual intercourse with a child.

In all other jurisdictions the crime of incest also exists where the victim is below the age of consent, but this does not exclude the possibility of bringing the more general charge of sexual intercourse with a child. This is particularly relevant where a certain form of sexual conduct between related persons falls outside of the legal definition of incest in a particular jurisdiction.

In no Australian state or territory is consent a defence to the crime of incest. The penalty for incest varies from state to state. A conviction for incest attracts a maximum penalty of imprisonment for 5 years in Victoria (25 years in the case of sex with one's child, stepchild or lineal descendant, irrespective of the victim's age), 7 years in South Australia, 8 years in New South Wales, 10 years in Western Australia (20 years if the victim is under 16), 10 years in the Australian Capital Territory (20 years if the victim is under 10 and 15 years if the victim is aged 10-15), 14 years in the Northern Territory (25 years if the victim is under 10 and 20 years if the victim is aged 10-15), 21 years in Tasmania, and imprisonment for life in Queensland.
