Doug,
If the camera was originally purchased in Oz (and you can prove it) then you will not be charged ANY import duty or GST on the actual item.
You also will not be charged duty or GST for the value of any REPAIRS done overseas.
You may however be charged Duty & GST on the value of any MODIFICATIONS done. But only if those mods total more that AU$1000.
The comment earlier about "things in the post are exempt" is not correct.
The exemption is for items under AU$1000 value, regardless of how they are transported.
If you pay Duty, it is calcuted on the purchase cost of the item only.
GST is calculated on the total value of Item + Duty + Insurance + shipping.
