I don't know if they are more protected than other native species. I'm pretty sure they're not allowed to be hunted but that's normal for pretty much all native animals here I think.
I've never heard of a wallaby being dangerous the way roos can. Every wallaby I've ever met in the wild moved away from me the moment it felt like I was too close (which is often many, many, many metres!). I feel no threat from them whatsoever, unlike roos where I am more alert and careful - even though I still love 'em!
Thannk you for the information. They are cute and would love to see them in the wild. I have seen them in zoos over here in the U.S. but that is never the same.
