CASA claimed they would copy the FAA airspace system.
Below is the text from the only page in the FAA Aeronautical Information
Manual on Class G Airspace.
The key words are "see and avoid".
The link is to the current FAA AIM, a good reference. My copy/paste is
page 159 of the pdf.

Class G Airspace

1. General
Class G airspace (uncontrolled) is that portion of
airspace that has not been designated as Class A,
Class B, Class C, Class D, or Class E airspace.
2. VFR Requirements
Rules governing VFR flight have been adopted to
assist the pilot in meeting the responsibility to see and
avoid other aircraft. Minimum flight visibility and
distance from clouds required for VFR flight are
contained in 14 CFR Section 91.155.
(See TBL 3-3-1)
3. IFR Requirements
a. Title 14 CFR specifies the pilot and aircraft
equipment requirements for IFR flight. Pilots are
reminded that in addition to altitude or flight level
requirements, 14 CFR Section 91.177 includes a
requirement to remain at least 1,000 feet (2,000 feet
in designated mountainous terrain) above the highest
obstacle within a horizontal distance of 4 nautical
miles from the course to be flown.
b. IFR Altitudes.
(See TBL 3-3-1)
