No idea about Oz, but what I envision: enclosed storage, two or three of
each size helmet at each station, in a dispenser/return machine. When
you check out the bike, you press the helmet option button, select a
size. The machine dispenses a helmet of that size and one or two
disposable helmet liners (hairnets). When you check in, the system knows
you checked out a helmet and prompts you to deposit it in the helmet
return, and there's a one-way refuse bin for the used liner.

I've thought about the bike share - helmet question. I had thought that
possibility of transmitting vermin (lice, et al) would be a
show-stopper. How do the Australian vending machines solve the problem
with returned helmets?

In Australia, where many areas have mandatory helmet laws, they have
set up convenience stores (7-11, etc.) to sell/rent helmets for $5 as
well as helmet vending machines. You can return the helmet and get $3
back.
