New passport when visa stamped in old passport

Hi all
I got the visa stamped in the old passport and also validated my first entry with the old passport. After the initial entry, I returned to my home country.
Since I had finished the pages in my old passport, have to get a new passport. The question is, do I need to get the visa stamped in the new passport as well or will it be suffice to show the old passport at immigration (Oz) when I re-enter.
Thanks in advance for your guidance.
Cheers

When you get here, just take both passports to your nearest DIAC office and they will put a new visa sticker in the new passport so you don't need to carry the old one any more. It's a free service.
