Can a PIC legally fly from either front seat?

Sorry if this has been asked before,

However, does anyone in Australia know our rules (or can point me to CASA regs) ..to those rules, about the legality of a Pilot in Command using either the left or right seat to fly any aircraft.

Typically Cessna/Piper.

Are we compeled to use the left hand seat by law?

Also, can a PPL fly the plane legally from the right hand seat with a student pilot sitting in the left seat and not actively flying?

Thanks in advance guys'n gals.
