I wrote to the Office of Transport Security and they confirmed that the Legislation states safety razors can be carried in the cabin without any blades.
They stated that final discretion lies with the screening officer and best to email the airport from where you will be departing.
So I wrote to Sydney airport and received the following response:
"Thank you for your email regarding carrying razors through Sydney Airport.
Further to your enquiries made with the Office of Transport Security, razors which are presented at screening points without blades are not considered as prohibited items at Sydney Airport and so you will be permitted to travel with them in your carry-on luggage on your upcoming flight.
We thank you for contacting Sydney Airport and hope we have assisted you with your enquiry.

I will carry both emails with me in case there are any issues at the screening point, however I don't think there should be any issue. This is so important given I will now be able to carry all my DE razors with me when I move to India.
