You must be 15 years of age to apply to sit a theory test with questions on road rules. If passed, this grants you a learner's license which allows you to drive during daylight hours with a licensed passenger (who holds a full driver's license and has done for 2 years). After a 6 month period of having a learner's license you can sit a practical driving test, which if passed gives you the restricted license. You can then drive unaccompanied during daylight hours. After an 18 month period you can sit a test to receive the full license. This last waiting period depends on the age of the applicant, and can be reduced by undertaking a defensive driving course.
New Zealand is not part of any continent: it is made up of two large islands and numerous smaller islands, and much of this territory sits on the Australian tectonic plate, but straddles the plate boundary. It is considered part of the region of "Australasia," which comprises New Zealand, Australia, Papua New Guinea and some small Pacific Islands. It is in the region of Oceania which, by geographical definition, is not a continent.
Australia and Oceania are two completely different things. Australia (a continent) lies within the political region known as Oceania, which comprises also the islands of New Guinea, New Zealand and various other island nations in the South Pacific.

New Zealand is a separate group of islands, lying to the East of Australia.
They are astride the boundary of the Pacific and Australian Plates, and we have our own continental mass known as Zealandia, about the area of the Indian sub-continent. This is mostly submerged, and has probably never been all above the water.
