Anyone know that one (Queensland)?
I was under the impression I'd swap it (with test if needed), and didn't think the type of Visa came into it
Maybe I keep my UK one till I get PR (if I do ?!?)
Cheers

Temp residents (in QLD) can drive on their UK (international) licence indefinitely........provided it is still in date of course.
If and when your residency status changes to permanent you will have 3 months from that date to pass a theory test which qualifies you for a full Aus licence.
As a temp you can still do it if you wish but it is not compulsory.

I doubt I'll get a refund! ...
