Language Proficiency for a CoV

I am applying to CASA for a Certificate of Validation in order to fly on my UK PPL. The supporting guidance states that

"if you do not have an ELP 4/5/ or 6 recorded on your overseas flight crew license you will need to be assessed by a CASA authorised Approved Testing Officer (ATO) at one of the approved Testing Centres"

My license only has "English Proficiency: English" which is described as not being acceptable to CASA.

How do I go about getting this bureaucratic loophole closed? Is it simple to get the test completed while I am out there? If there are any instructors used to people going through this route, or any UK pilot's who have done it before, I would be very grateful for some guidance.

I am just applying for a CoV, not to convert my license to an Australian PPL.
