Re: Driving Theory Test
Coming to Melbourne on a 2 year 457, but will apply for PR once on aussie soil.
2 questions - do I have to do a test 3 months from when I get there, ot 3 months from when PR is granted?
And, do you have to take a practical test in Victoria ? - doubt I'd pass one of those now without a lot of practice!

As the following countries have similar licence standards to Australia, current overseas holders of licences from the recognised countries listed below are only required to pass the knowledge test on the Victorian road law.
Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, USA
If your licence is not from one of the countries listed above, you will need to undergo a knowledge test of Victorian road law as well as a driving test.

Yes, if you've been here 3 months you might want to check if you haven't changed your licence yet. It doesn't seem to make any difference to the insurance companies when you take out your poilcy though - they didn't seem that concerned about my UK licence, I just had to pay a bit extra. Of course, I don't know if the policy would have been invalidated if I hadn't changed my licence. I suspect yes.
