So you've landed on Aussie soil and want to swap that foreign licence for a local one—fair enough. The process varies by state, but generally, you'll need to provide proof of identity, residency, and your current overseas licence. Some states might require you to pass a knowledge test or even a practical driving test, especially if your licence is from a country with vastly different road rules.
Keep in mind, if your overseas licence isn't in English, a certified translation or an International Driving Permit might be mandatory. Fees vary, but expect anywhere from $50 to $150 for the conversion process. For the nitty-gritty, check your local road authority—Transport NSW, VicRoads, or whichever applies—and maybe peek at ServiceCentral for guidance.
