Converting an international driver licence to an Australian one is mostly a paperwork waltz, with each state setting the steps.
Book in with your state road authority, bring ID, proof of address, your overseas licence (plus an English translation if needed), and be prepared for an eyesight check and, depending on your country of issue, a knowledge or driving test.
New residents usually have to convert within about three months of settling in the state, while temporary visitors can keep using their overseas licence until their visa or visit ends.
If your licence is from a recognised country, you may skip the tests; if not, you’ll do the lot—no drama, just queues.
Fees and licence terms vary by state, so check Service NSW, VicRoads, TMR QLD, and friends for the fine print before you rock up.
