kadarting lng namin dito sa canberra and we did direct conversion from SG to AU in less than 15 mins. I dont think may issue kung kelan lng na issue yung sg license, yung sa amin oct 2013 lng.
kailngan mo lng ipakita yung sg license, passport and additional id (au atm/debit/credit card, medicare slip ok na din) then pay lng ng 110aud
hndi ko lng sure if applicable din or same reqmnt lng din sa ibang state pro it will dfntly save u a lot of $, time & effort

But it is better to get a PH License-then get an International License from AAP right before going to AU. You can use it in AU for 1 year or before you apply for a learner's permit whichever comes earlier(this is because any International Licenses will lose it's validity after you apply for a learners/probational license). (This is Queensland law. I do not know about other states.)
