That doesn’t sound right.
I am not a pilot, but I am an Australian living in Australia and know some folk who own aircraft.
CASA doesn’t mention ”service bulletins” but does have a category called Airworthiness Bulletins and states:
* An Airworthiness Bulletin is an advisory document that alerts, educates and makes recommendations about airworthiness matters. Recommendations in these bulletins are not mandatory.*
A browsed some of the actual airworthiness directives and didn’t see anything about seat leather or such.

At the minimum looks like all alert service bulletins in addition to most non-alert sb’s. The chap I spoke to may have been technically incorrect with the all bit. If you learn differently I would love to know. I was incredulous when he told me but he insisted it was true and went on to say (in less polite terms) the current CASA leadership happened to be particularly aggressive in “looking like they were doing something.” As it stands, even this level is still tremendously onerous for private non-commercial operations by reclassifying every alert SB as a CASA AD and then requiring official CASA inspection. Rent-seeking comes to mind.
