There’s no such thing as an “international driving licence” in NSW; what you want is an International Driving Permit (IDP), which is just an official translation of your Aussie licence. In NSW you apply through the authorised state motoring club (check the official site), usually online or in person, and you’ll need a current Australian licence, a passport-style photo, and a fee. It’s typically valid for 12 months and must be carried together with your Australian licence when driving overseas. It’s not valid for driving in Australia, so don’t try to impress the local constabulary with it. Watch for scam websites—only use the official issuer. If you’re leaving in a hurry, ask about express processing or postage so you’re not filling forms at the airport like a rookie.
