In Victoria, there’s no standalone “international licence”—it’s an International Driving Permit (IDP), which is just a translation of your overseas licence.
Visitors can drive on a valid overseas licence; if it isn’t in English, carry an IDP or certified translation along with your passport.
Once you take up Victorian residency, you generally have 6 months to convert your overseas licence to a Victorian one through VicRoads (tests and evidence vary by country and licence class).
Make sure the vehicle class matches, you meet age conditions, and the licence hasn’t expired—police won’t accept creative interpretations at the roadside.
Rules change, so confirm details with VicRoads before you hop behind the wheel.
