Yes they do. I just travelled 3000 miles both ways with many needles and o problems. I think there was a while after 9/11 when everything was banned..but if you go to the TSA government site, it lists what is prohibited to pass through security.
Edited to add: that is in the U.S. Don't know about Australia but found lists of prohibited items here and neither needles nor blunt scissors are on them.
