The general rule seems to be that you can drive on your UK licence for 3 months. After this you need to have got an Ozzie one. A clean UK licence can be "swapped" for an Ozzie one after an eye test and a computerised knowledge test plus a few $$.

The states appear to have slightly different tests and rules, so check.
