I once had a sales rep based in northern NSW with his company car registered in Qld at the corporate address. He received a fine for having an interstate registered car kept in NSW and was warned to get it registered in NSW within xx days or he could be fined every time the local coppers saw him. I contacted the then Dept. of Transport in Grafton and this was confirmed. We had to register his car in NSW, considerably more expensive than Qld, at his address and with the Qld. postal address recorded for service of notices.
There are a heck of a lot of business vehicles in NSW that are registered interstate.
It seems most tradies utes are registered in Qld or Vic.

Wonder what happens if they have an accident, particularly one that involves serious injury. Insurance void?

It is no different in Qld. Only require a pink slip if you wish to sell the vehicle.
