Can I drive in Australia on a NZ or UK drivers licence?

Yes - but only for 3 months. You should check with the state related road authority (i know Victoria is www.vicroads.com.au) if you are on a full licence you should not have to re-sit the test, if you are on a restricted or limited licence you may depending on age etc.

In Victoria:
On an NZ license you need to apply within 3 months.
On a UK license you have 6 months to apply.
It takes up to a couple of weeks to book an appointment.
At the appointment a form is provided, eye test completed and your photo taken - a paper license is given to you and you receive your existing UK or NZ license back.
Small fee ($43 or so for 3 years).
