for medical insurance, you need to provide evidence, if you on accident, they will require your police report

international driver permit do not cover insurance, it just a legal way to drive in oversea
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International...recognizing_IDP

according to Australia law, some of the state require international driver permit, some just require driving license in English, so better get one

Drive accordingly to speed, au have a lot of speed trap especially in school area.
Their traffic light is using smart system. So drive only when others is drving.
Use signal and expect rood bully but most aussie is pretty nice at road.

i've driven before in NSW, VIC and TAS using my Malaysian drivers license many years back and so far didn't read about any change in regulations

but i know definitely you need an IDP for Korea

but of course i do agree, play safe, get an IDP

You'll be fine because even without translation, the stuff on a Malaysian license is pretty obvious.

The only difference might be WA, which is considering laws that after 3 months of stay, all overseas licenses are invalid.

Last time I nearly hit a car when approaching to roundabout, in Aussie, their roundabout are mostly drawn on the road with white color paint.

And also when the time around 9am to 10am, then the roat was like reflecting the sunlight, it is so hard to see the road.
