Short version: converting an overseas driver licence to an Australian one is done through your state authority (Service NSW, VicRoads, TMR QLD, etc.), not Canberra. Bring the essentials: current overseas licence, passport/ID, proof of local address, and a NAATI translation if it isn’t in English. If your country is on the recognised list, it’s often paperwork and an eye check; if not, expect a knowledge test and possibly a practical driving test. Some states give you a short grace period on your overseas licence once you’re a resident, but the clock does run—so don’t dawdle. Fees and exact steps vary by state and visa status, so check your state’s official site before lining up. You handle the forms; they handle the judging.
