Depends on the state.

Cough ... Err this depends ... on the person who has the power to do the checking .. and the momentary political pressures ..
For instance .. extra seats fitted to 4WDs in Queensland were attracting hundereds of dollars in fines .. issued by police officers beside the road to out of state vehicles .. they wanted you to have it inspected (in youyr state that might be 2,000 km away) and the number of seats noted on the rego papers .. and if you changed the seats in either direction to get it inspected again.. fortunatly I think they have droped that particular stunt now. But any police office could suspect your vehicle as not being road worthy and have you prove it (at your cost and time).
