I have often wondered about this as ATSB reports involving weather incidents usually seem to comment on whether or not the pilot accessed weather information via NAIPS.
I personally get NOTAM from NAIPS but then GAF, GPWT, TAF, Area QNH etc. from the BOM Aviation Weather Services website directly... so my NAIPS account would indicate I didn't get a weather briefing even though quite the opposite is true.
