Check your State's rule, pero in general you are allowed to use your Phil driver's license upto 2 months from initial entry date. But I highly suggest (kung pwede lang 'it is a must') to read and understand road rules in Australia and to hire a driving instructor for maybe 2 or 3 lessons to get you familiarized with the road.
unfortunately you cant convert Phil license to AU license. you can get a license via 2 ways
one off test or
log book
