CovidSafe is based off OpenTrace which is GPLv3. The Aus govt have to release the code. They said they would 2 weeks after the launch of the app.
I have reviewed the client side source code for OpenTrace. It doesn't store location information. Also, read the BlueTrace whitepaper, it will answer a lot of questions you might have.
The data is anonymised. You are identified by a TempId that is changed every 15 mins, that is based on your UserId and some other data (see white paper). If someone were to decrypt this value, it would reveal your UserId, but not your phone number. The attacker would need access to the server side storage to gain this information, as I believe the client side does not store this.
