The question of whether a police officer can immediately suspend your license on the spot is answered with certainty. Yes, if you are charged or issued penalty notice for any relevant offence as defined of  Transport Operations and Traffic Management Act 1999 Police may confiscate it at that time or within 48 hours from when they gave their charge against you to take action.

Penalty Notice for Low Range Drink Driving Offence: If you get issued a penalty notice from the police, your license will be suspended. The suspension period is 3 months. This means that after serving this time, it's not possible to legally drive in Australia without having another driver with you or if eligible have an SRS (Safe Roads Services) vehicle take over driving duties and deliver them safely home. You must make sure any overseas licence has been surrendered before getting back into any car as well - because of stringent Australian law enforcement rules on blacklisting offenders who flout local laws at all times!
