There is a full article on building codes in Australia on the ABCD website. In short, at the beginning of the 20th century. In the twentieth century, trying to navigate through the different codes was a challenging exercise. In the 1950s, states and territories began to establish more uniform technical building regulations. However, states and territories have delegated their main tasks to municipal councils. This led to rules based on local needs or desires, which meant that the spiral staircase was considered non-compliant in some areas. Unfortunately, one of the results of this was that people who climbed stairs, regardless of that and regardless of compliance with the rules, built steep, uncomfortable and, in some cases, dangerous stairs.

Stairs are no longer just a functional feature of a building: they are a central element of design. Contemporary buildings often feature interesting staircase lighting by illuminating different parts of the stairs or playing on the shape of the stairs to project intricate light patterns onto the walls. These help ensure that the stairs have sufficient visibility. All stairs require a balustrade, and this is no exception. Whether it is a staircase, balcony, ramp, hanging hallway, mezzanine, deck or porch, a balustrade should be placed to prevent falls from areas more than 1000 mm from the first floor.

Every staircase needs a handrail. Stairs of more than 1 meter require a handrail on both sides.

Charles, it`s hard to say if this would be legal from the perspective from which the photo is taken, and often photos are taken before the addition of railings. But for safety reasons, it seems a bit worrisome to me and I wouldn`t feel comfortable with young children and I would have to add some kind of railing on both sides.
