Scooters/Vespa in Malta - Can i drive with Australian licence?

It looks like you can drive on your Australian licence for up to 12 months.

Would I need to do anything different for a scooter license though?

The second paragraph in your link, Terry, says you can exchange EU ,Swiss and Australian issued licences for a Maltese licence once you have lived here for 185 days or more.

According to changes mentioned in this article from the 'Times of Malta' you can drive up to a 125cc bike in Malta on your car licence (Category B).

These guys import and sell used Vespas   https://www.facebook.com/HighRevsMotorcycles/

and you can get new 125cc Lambretta lookalikes for around €2900 from    https://www.facebook.com/MotorbikeLink/?fref=ts

Over 125cc if you do not already have a motorcycle licence you would have to pass a test.

Hope this helps

Thanks fox. There was another article stated here:

That stated people needed to sit for 10 hours of lessons even though there is that waiver. Guess was just looking for a more concrete answer as the 2 articles seem to contradict each other.
