1 Hour dual and you can fly the remainder 4 hours PIC. Hours can be credited for time already flown in similar aircraft (under 600kg).
I would expect It will be easy enough to convert once you have been issued an Aussie PPL/CPL.
Unfortunately a little confusion arises between, Recreational Pilot Licence (GA) [which should be called a Restricted Pilots Licence IMHO], and a Recreational Pilots Certificate (RAAus).

Do you have any reference regarding the conversion of a CASA RPL or PPL into the RAAUS pilot certificate?
Namely, where did you find this information:
