The 70-year-old was arrested at a Gold Coast home on Wednesday and is facing Southport Magistrates Court where NSW detectives are seeking his extradition.
Ms Dawson was 33 when she went missing from Sydney's northern beaches in January 1982, leaving behind two young daughters.
Police have opposed bail.
Mr Dawson's counsel told the court he was willing to live with his brother in NSW and hand himself into authorities.
The court was told Dawson had "co-operated" with authorities, was not a flight risk and was willing to surrender his passport.
Dawson appeared wearing a grey T-shirt and shorts. He did not look at the gallery packed with media.
The hearing continues.
