Hi Alistairsam
These days they are practically giving away the ham licences!!
With the demise of the requirement of Morse code a few years back, one can easily obtain qualification to be a certified ham operator; there being basically 3 types viz: Foundation, Standard and Advanced
The easiest to obtain would be the Foundation which requires only a few hours worth of attending a few tutorials and how-to and you can get that easily - see here:

With the other higher licence types it means that you get more band privileges and you do have to pass an exam first
You can obtain more information if you go to WIA's home page @
www.wia.org.au and click on the "Get Your Amateur Radio Licence" menu option
HTH
Cheers
Bill
