wife here..honestly, from student's permit direct na to Prof, di na ako nag-non prof, naka-fixer kasi so di dumaan driving test sa LTO..nag driving skol naman ako when I got my SP but di nman gaano na-practice kc full-time mom sa 1 yr old..

Malaki ang kaibahan pag from the start ang pagkuha mo. Hindi siya diretso into Full license. Bago ka maging Full License holder daraan ka muna ng P's (Red and Green). Dapat yung Learner's permit hawak mo siya for a certain period of time depende sa age bago ka makakuha ng P's mo. After ng P's which may take for years tsaka ka makakakuha ng Full license.
Hindi pwedeng pagsabayin yung Knowledge and Hazard test kasi binobook siya beforehand. Pwedeng magkasunod na araw kasi tinanong ako sa Vicroads dati kung gusto ko ng magpabook for the Hazard after passing my Knowledge Test.
Kung full license yung sa Pinas then full license din ang conversion niya rito sa Au.

I called VICROADS, ang sabi sa akin kung receipt lang daw, hindi daw sufficient. Pwede raw kumuha ng letter (with the Letterhead) from LTO kung saan nakalagay yung status ng Ph license, yung type of license, date of issuance and expiration date na rin. Another option is to get a letter dito sa Consulate sa Australia saying that it has verified your license details from LTO and of course containing the above information as well.
@chehrd With regards to your question with the pro and non-pro, makoconvert both into full license regardless.
I was informed as well na yung Philippine License, as long as it's a full license kahit na kakakuha mo pa lang (kahit na 1day old), you can convert it to a full Au license (by passing the 3 tests). Sa ibang countries daw kasi like HK, they need to have it for a year before they can convert it here.
Another info is that if you hold a Learner's Permit, you can drive with anyone who has a full license (overseas license- as long as valid, other state license,& Au full license holders)

May license ako from pinas pero nagtake ako Learner's exam. Pero nung nagbook na ako for the Hazard Perception test eh may 3 months waiting time pa bago ako makapagtake. Hindi ko lang alam ang rule kung may Philippine license na ako kung kailangan ba talaga mag-antay ng 3 months.
