But do check the WA govt website - in the past at least WA had a rule (unlike other states) that put a 12 month limit on temporary residents using an overseas licence.

Just to update this thread, i went on government site as recommended and on a working visa in WA, you can use your UK licence for 12 months, then if intend to extend your visa and stay longer, you need to then apply for an Aus driving licence.
