Can I fly in AUS?

FAA PPL, no restrictions, passed tower light test, have LOE (FAA Letter Of Evidence stating all restrictions removed despite Ishihara test failure, does not expire). Only FAA test left is OCVT (Operational Color Vision Test) which requires recognizing terrain types from an aircraft, which I need for the CPL.

So... would CASA throw a tantrum? Since I have an "alternative" profession (I grew up in Mexico, which DOES NOT let you fly with CVD, no matter what the FAA says, perhaps even because of the fact the FAA lets you fly with it) I've been considering a move to Oz in the near future, and depending on when I would get there, I would have a FAA CPL with me. Anz chances of cargo/RFD flying for me?
