converting international license to vic

So you've arrived in Victoria with your international license, dreaming of Aussie roads—here's the lowdown. You can drive on your valid international license for up to six months, but after that, you'll need to convert it to a Victorian driver's license. The process involves proving your identity, residency, and passing both a knowledge test and a practical driving test, unless you hail from a country with reciprocal agreements, which might skip you a test or two.

Fees vary but expect around $50 to $100 AUD for the conversion process. Your international license must be current and translated if not in English. For the nitty-gritty and the latest updates, the VicRoads website is your best mate, and if you fancy checking out second-hand cars once you're licensed, CarShowroom or Tradingpost are solid spots.
