driving license?

hi
This has probably been answered before but i was wondering how my u.k. driving license will be able to be used in Australia - i have read lots of different information about written tests, practical tests and timescales.
Also, my husband has a provisional license, how does the learner system work in Australia? (costs? number of years experience required to teach him? etc)
Hope to be in Adelaide next summer.
Thanks for any help.

Where are you going? Each state is different.
for NSW look at www.rta.nsw.gov.au

Permanent Residents in NSW have 3 months to convert their license.

Heading for South Australia - probably Adelaide but maybe Melbourne..any information appreciated.

Does that mean I can go to NSW initially and my UK license will then be valid in Adelaide...believe Adelaide has one month to convert????

Thank you
