Thank you for your speedy reply. Sorry I didn't explain why I was doubting very well. I have written to multiple law admission boards in Australia and not been told the same thing twice. I am unsure if this is because entry is different state to state or if I am asking the wrong people. There are also multiple feeds on here with some differing views on the subject so I am just hoping to get all of my above questions clarified such as cost and most importantly time scale from someone who has followed this route. Thank you for the reply though

Hi, I am in my final year of an English degree in the UK. My partner is Australian and is in the forces so cannot move here. I am hoping to complete a GDL then move to Australia to practice as a lawyer, but I am struggling to find consistent information regarding the standing of a GDL over there. I understand that I will be required to do additional subjects, but am unsure of how many, the cost of this and how long this will take. I have spoken to the law admissions board of Vic and they stated that a GDL is considered to be of equal standing to a LLB. Then they will prescribe additional subjects then the full PLT. Is this information correct or am I really not understanding this correctly? Many thanks for any responses that may help me understand this a little better.
