With regards to being admitted as a Solicitor in NSW i can tell you that you have to apply with the LPAB first for an assessment. I have gone through the same assessments being an overseas practitioner being admitted to NSW. I then took the course which the LPAB itself offered and they gave me 6 subjects to do. From experience and talking to others in our class, the other practitioners from the UK had to do about 5-6 subjects which would be equivalent to 2 semesters because the LPAB will not let you do more than 3 subjects per semester. From my own study experience, and assuming you do the LPAB course, you need to have a good set of notes and i reckon if you wanted to, you can stay where you are, get the notes you need, do the assignments which are submitted online and then just fly to NSW for the exams. This is what i did except that i already lived in Sydney (but never attended classes due to work and family commitments). You should apply for a skills assessment with the LPAB and see what they would need you to do. If you need further advice PM me.
