Does anyone know if I could take my driving test in Australia, without being a permanent resident (i.e. holding a five year temporary visa)? Thanks

Yes. See the website of the trafficauthority for the state you intend to live in.
Depending on the state/territory and your current licence you may not have to take a practical test.

Yep, quite right, I think most states don't require a practical test .. thank goodness, not sure I could have taken the stress/embarassment. There's a list of State road traffic departments at : http://www.cruxaustralis.com/governm...c-authorities/ - most seem to have a page on license transfer.
