It should do if the data going in has the right SRID.

Best to test it with something like this to make sure it is OK before 
continuing.

select st_srid(a.geom) as original_srid, ST_Srid(st_transform(a.geom, 4283)) as 
transform_srid, ST_AsText(ST_Transform(a.geom,4283)) as tgeom
  from (select ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING(606388.046000039 
5335648.05400051,606468.307000043 5335634.86000051)',28355) as geom) as a;

28355;4283;"LINESTRING(148.287098370457 -42.1240578238575,148.288071549293 
-42.1241657301262)"
