This is all we have regarding the police oath?
POLICE ACT 1990 - SECT 13
Oath to be taken by persons exercising police functions
13 Oath to be taken by persons exercising police functions
(1) Before a person exercises any of the functions of a police officer, the person must take the oath or make the affirmation of office as a police officer in accordance with the regulations.
(2) A police officer is not required to take a further oath or make a further affirmation after a change in the officer’s position in the NSW Police Force, so long as the officer remains in the NSW Police Force.
New sec.38 - Oath
Compare the form of the oath with that required to be taken by members of the police force (Police Regulation Act, s.9). The form of oath is simpler and takes into account that the special constables duties may be limited by rules made under the new section 77. The oath may be administered by a member of the police force of or above the rank of inspector as well as by a justice.
New sec.50 - Oath
The simple oath provided for by this section does not include an oath of allegiance to the Queen. Such an oath may be inappropriate for a member of a foreign police force.
It may not be convenient for a visiting special constable to have the oath administered to him by a justice for New South Wales or by a member of the police force of New South Wales of or above the rank of inspector. The section therefore provides that it may be administered by a member (who is of or above the rank of inspector) of the police force of which the special constable is a member. This would be convenient, for example, for the administration of the oath to a member of the police force of Queensland who is appointed by the Commissioner a visiting special constable for New South Wales for the purpose of "border" police work (see para.18 of the report).

We are still a monarchy and this is an interesting read;
"I honour my God
I serve my Queen
I salute my Flag".
It has been many a year since children stood in their school assemblies throughout Australia to recite these meaningful words. Sadly we have many who are white anting this oath at every available opportunity.
"Oaths of Allegiance are still a constitutional requirement for politicians - Federal and State, those serving in the Defence Forces and indeed most persons in positions of power and influence to swear allegiance, for the taking of an Oath is in reality a public declaration formally binding the swearer to a fealty which goes far beyond the normal loyalty owed by a citizen to his or her country for the politician is accepting a sacred trust to honourably govern in the best interests of the People, the soldier to vigorously defend the Nation, the Judge to faithfully administer the Law, and so on."

And this;
The Oath Of Allegiance
LETTER TO THE HON PHILIP RUDDOCK MP, ATTORNEY-GENERAL OF AUSTRALIA
THE LOSS OF THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE QUEEN IN NEW SOUTH WALES & OTHER STATES
WHAT PRICE LOYALTY?
THE AUSTRALIAN MONARCHIST LEAGUE V THE STATE OF NEW SOUTH WALES
THE LOSS OF THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE QUEEN
IN NEW SOUTH WALES & OTHER STATES
The moves by the State Labor (Republican) Governments to remove the Oath of Allegiance to The Queen are morally, if not legally, unconstitutional.
