Yes, it is illegal in all parts of Australia to be driving a motor car without your license on you. Most states will issue on-the-spot fines of around $100. Queensland is a little more lenient and an officer will generally issue a notice of proof which will require you to visit your local police station and produce your license within 48 hours.
This depends on your criminal history and level of license. P-platers will receive on-the-spot fines in Queensland too.
