Hi Sandy
Not sure what the situation for newly passed drivers is but for others you just go to a centre and literally swap your licence over there and then after a vision test. No sending anything away to DVLA and waiting weeks for it to come back! They take your photo there and give you your new licence straightaway. All I know is that for new drivers in NSW they have to use P plates for the first 2 years after passing their tests and are subject to certain restrictions, ie can't drive after 11pm with another P plater in the car and also insurance is more expensive up to age 25 not 21 as in UK.
