This is basically a client stored proof of id card, the police and NSW govt retail offices verify identity with a separate system. The ServiceNSW app also has a system for the public to verify a digital license ("Check a license or credential" on the opening screen) with a QR code that can't be forged.

Going to the pub with a fake ID for an after school schooey is a right of passage in Australia, this is probably just a sneaky way of getting school kids into coding. It's not useful for anything else, anyone that needs to will verify a license properly.
