They are not mini-roundabouts if you can not drive over them.
Look here:

Also read the Australian Tagging Guidelines here:
wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines
mini_roundabout is not determined by size.
Australia does not have mini roundabouts, road rules require you to
drive around the center island unless it is impractical to do so, ie
truck, bus.
Have a look through here:

you'll see numerous discussions and the Australian Tagging Guidelines
above are a reflection of these.

Hi
I can assure you that the Devonport City Council is in love with
converting standard intersections into min round-abouts with high raised
flower beds which means unless you drive a tank your vehicle is going to
get hurt. Most have a large mountable curb areas for trucks and buses
but as mentioned a solid inner. In fact any barrier or road side
furniture is being put in at a rate that makes you think that the city
engineer has shares in these companies. I will leave it up to letters to
the paper to describe the residents views of such things but they do exist.
Cheers

I've seen it flatly stated that Australia didn't have any real
mini-roundabouts. That may have been true once, but the last few new
roundabouts I've seen built near me have all been either true mini
roundabouts (nothing but paint) or a couple where there is a raised
centre concrete disc, but it's only raised about a cm, and is fully
traversable. I'm not sure why they've started appearing.

Hi Brett,
You've just said a *really" controversial phrase (mini roundabouts).
In Australia there is a *LOT* of history surrounding these things.
I do have a definite opinion on them but I reckon it would be best
(if not unbearably tedious) for you to read the many vitiolic posts
on this subject on talk-au.
Cheers
Nick
