So, you've landed Down Under and want to swap that international driving license for an Aussie one? First, don’t get cocky—each state and territory has its own rules, so check the local road authority (like VicRoads or RMS). Generally, you can drive on your international license for up to three months, but after that, it’s test time.
You’ll likely need to provide your current license (translated if not in English), proof of identity, and pass a knowledge test or practical driving test depending on your stay and license country.
Costs vary, but expect around $50–$100 AUD for conversion fees. For secondhand car shopping while you sort this out, have a gander at Tradingpost or CarShowroom.
Remember, rules change faster than a kangaroo on the hop, so always double-check with your local transport authority.
