Default Getting Victorian Driving License after PR

My apologies if this issue has been discussed previously!

I am here in Australia after my PR and I have my local driving license and international driving license as well. I got to know that I can drive on my international license for next 6 months but after that I'll have to apply for Victorian license. Can any one tell me do I need to start from beginner license here or will i get some previlege after showing my previous license? I'm not from those countries who are exempted for the test

Thanks

No the only test you may have to take is an eye test. Just rock up with your licence, your visa and evidence of your address and they exchange licences. http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/...rsLicences.htm

UK is exempt from the tests

The OP is not from an exempt country, so yes he/she will need to do all the tests.
