i ahd the same issues with my Australian certificates .
Better to get your certificates attested with External Affairs Australia before you come to qatar . or it will be an expensive procedure to depend on the certificate attestation agencies in middle east.
i heard Driving license can be converted as long as you are an aus citizen passport holder (this u need to double check again with muroor ...no body cares the ethinicity once u change ur passport my dear brother ...there are no laws special for "races" ...there are only laws for "nationality "
Concerning driver license: with few exceptions, no license is transferred. At least you have to make an eye test. In most cases also a practical test. For some nationalities driving lessons are required. Let the company (sponsor) advise you.
Honestly, you should make your sponsor (company) responsible for all the things that are needed. Let them tell you what they need to make your family visa. They should know, and they should do it. Not your business at all.
