Default Can I go to WA to get license and NSW to work?

Hi all,

I have seen a lot of discussion over getting an A grade license but I'm still not clear what applies to me???

When I get my 175 GSM visa I intend to move towards Sydney. Correct me if I'm wrong but if I get my license there I need to become a Trade Assistant and complete the log book etc. right??? Can take up to 12 months?

If I fly to Perth and stay with friends, can I sit the 2 week course there for my Licence and then fly back to Sydney and start working with it?

What's the best advice for my particular situation??

Can anyone help please?

Thanks, Ben.

Thanks for the tip. Thought it might be too good to be true!
