So there is no default "access is illegal unless signed otherwise" it's the opposite "all access is legal unless signed otherwise". There are some protected areas where access is restricted unless you have a permit like https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/484516919, but these are rare.

Per above, I'm not sure about other states, but generally my understanding is this is not the case in NSW.
