If your UK PPL is more than 5 years out of date you'll need to speak to the CAA, if not then you need to do an LPC (Licence Proficiency Check) which can be done at most flying clubs, as long as they have an examiner available. Where in the UK will you be, then we can tell you where to try? If by local you mean local to Sydney then you probably can't get it done over there but why bother? Just do an LPC next time you're in UK.
