Not for the Short-Answer Section, but I've been told that you are allowed to in the Extended Response Section. :)

I've been told by an exam assessor that dot points in the short answer section are allowed and sometimes encouraged.
It's not about how much you write, it's about showing your understanding and knowledge.

id reccommend doing it only if you're short on time.
Section C apparently its ok to do.
And yeh for short answer id say only if you're in a real rush to complete it

I guess you're 'allowed' to do anything you like, but I agree with this:

I'm not sure whether you are meant to or not, but I would tend to avoid dot points unless running short on time.

Well one thing is definitely sure is that you can use dot points for the Extended Response.

This sort of comment has been mentioned in all 4 of the Examiner's Reports since the Introduction of the new Study Design.

Students did not need to give their responses in essay form; dot points or tables covering some or all aspects of the question were acceptable.

Do you have a link?

From what you're saying it sounds like examiners are referring to short answer and extended response.
