Most likely if you are from a country that drives on the right, you'll need to do a road test in Australia.

Recognition of licences from certain countries
The recognition of licences from certain countries has been agreed nationally and commenced in NSW on and from 20 May 2002. Customers that have not failed a driving or riding test, as at 20 May 2002, will be exempted from the test if they hold an acceptable licence from one of the recognised countries. The exemption only applies to applicants for Class C (car) licences.
The RTA reserves the right to require customers to undertake a driving test, and may not issue a licence until it is satisfied that the overseas licence is valid.
Recognised countries
Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark
Finland, France, Germany, Greece
Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg
Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain
Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, USA
The licensing authority in Victoria (VicRoads) is responsible for maintaining the national list of recognised countries. View the most up-to-date list of recognised countries.

Re: Driving License
So whats the score with WA, Sa and QLD ?
Is it the same as with NSW and Victoria whereby you just exchange your British driving licence for a state licence i.e. no driving test, practical or theory ?

Pretty certain, think Warren (Go Bananas) was the first one to post about this for WA, so you could do a search. Or else it should be on the website you just failed the test you dont (hopefully) have to do!!
