The idea is to pull over to the left hand side of the road indicating that you are making a right hand turn and move as far up the intersection as is practical. When the light changes to green in the direction you want to turn, you then proceed to turn right.
A word of caution - please wait until all of the traffic behind you has finished moving through the intersection before turning right.
Look for this sign....Regards, Gomez.

Fab8 when you see some country folks and people from NSW turns in Melbourne CBD. Some turning right in the centre and even gave me a horn when I blocked the road on the left. I was just doing the right thing that they had no any idea. Of course I did not move over and the car was getting abuse from the tram that it was blocking. THEY HAVE NO IDEA
Good on you that enquire about Hook Turn.
Many Victorian get booked when they turned right when the direction you are turning to is still red. That is, you proceed to the left side, see no cars and jump the gun and turn. You are liable to pay $200 and 3 points (for Victorians). There are about 4 cars patroling the city. Mainly for the drugies at Cnr of Russel and Brouke St.
Enjoy Melbourne. It is nice. Maybe I will show you King St when you get here :D
Nice animation Hymee. I think the black car should be a yellow cab car. They do that ALL THE TIME!
So much for living inside CBD for 3 years!

Thanks for all the info. Very helpful. 
Thanks for the tip, Taka! Does this mean that only one car gets to turn right at every change of the lights? What happens when there are like 5 cars waiting to turn right? Does the 5th car need to wait for 5 changes of lights?

Nah....as many cars turn right as can fit across the intersection, usually 3 or 4 if the first guy has moved way up....

Struth - one minute he is telling people to shut up, the next minute he is shouting out in bold!
Taka - you just earned the honour of getting the next round. I'll have a Bundy and Coke thanks.

I often think of getting a bussiness or a job but as soon as i go for a long drive in my RX8 the silly thought of working goes away .( Thank goodness)
My problem is that i get bored easily , i constantly need challenges to keep me at my peak performance .
cheers

My first GT4 "Prologue" game with RX-8 at Tsukuba
Hehe sometimes I like to play like a boy!
I brought the new GT4 Prologue -- like the Advance Driving Course for the proper game.
I race through and passing the driving tests and reached the level to win the RX-8.
The first lap I did in Tsukuba in the Aracade mode without any aid of DCS. 1 minute 8.7 seconds!!!
WOW I am faster than "Gun" san!
I did 1 minute 8 for the EVO 8 and 1 minute 6 for the R34 V spec nur spec. 1 minute 10 for DC2 Integra Type R :D
