In Australia, you apply for a driver’s licence through your state or territory authority (think Service NSW, VicRoads, TMR QLD, DoT WA, etc.), not a single national office.
The usual dance is: prove your identity and residency, pass an eyesight check and a computer-based road rules test, then receive a Learner Permit.
Do your supervised driving and any logbook or hazard perception requirements set by your state, then book the practical driving test—nerves and parallel parks included.
Pass that and you’ll get a provisional licence, then graduate to a full licence after a clean stint on P plates; time frames and exemptions vary by age and state.
Fees, test formats and required hours differ, so check your state authority’s website before you rock up with a pen and a brave face.
