Default Driving licence question!

Just a quickie, maybe stupid question to ask, but does a UK Learners drivers licence equate to a Queensland learners drivers licence?

Cant really get my head round the sytem here!!!!!

My husband had a full/open UK licence and on arrival into QLD a year ago had to complete a theory test to obtain his full/open QLD licence (he didn't have to take the driving test though!).

Therefore for a learners permit I would assume you will have to take the theory test too.

Is anyone watching the State of Origin? Goooo Queensland!!

I may be wrong but I thought that you had to pass the theory test to get your learners licence??

But if he has been having lessons in the UK, can he take his theory and practical test straight away in QLD?
